One Siberian town holds both an extreme cold and an extreme heat record

Verkhoyansk, Russia, recorded -67.8°C in 1892 — among the coldest temperatures ever measured outside Antarctica — then hit 38°C in June 2020, the hottest temperature ever verified north of the Arctic Circle. The same small town spans a temperature range of over 105°C between its two extremes.
