The climates of the top 10 coldest countries in the world are so extreme, that blankets, fires, and coffee are nowhere enough to keep the chill away. However, as they say, too much of anything is bad. The same goes for ice, snow, and cold.
For there are some places in the world that are so very cold and severe throughout the year, that even on the warmest summer days the climate is dull and freezing. Winters are absolutely unbearable, making daily activities a challenge, and putting human endurance to the test. Here is a list of 10 of the coldest countries in the world.

9. Estonia
Continuing the list is Estonia which isn’t exactly super cold in terms of very bad winters and excessive amounts of snow. However, year-round, the rain brings super cold temperatures that can make hanging out a bit challenging to say the least.
8. Finland
Finland is another one of the icy cold countries that can feature temperatures well below minus 20 degrees. Heavy winds and snowfall are to be expected when visiting during the four-month winter season.
7. Iceland
