Extreme cold is hugging a large chunk of Canada this week, and one spot in Canada is the coldest place on Earth Thursday morning.

According to a new weather report from WX-Now, which tracks the world’s most extreme weather, one place in Russia is the only spot outside of Canada that made Thursday’s list.

The coldest place on the planet today is Rea Point in Nunavut with a brutal -41ºC, and factor in the wind chill and it’s a mind-numbing -52°C. Yikes!
