Quiz.HaitiLibre offers a twice-weekly general knowledge segment called "Did You Know ?". Today we ask you if you know which is the coldest capital city in the world.

Did you know that Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, holds the title of the coldest capital city in the world ?

Located at 1,350 meters above sea level in the Tuul River valley, Ulaanbaatar is home to almost half of Mongolia's population. Its climate is extreme: temperatures can drop below -40°C in winter, which statistically earns it the title of the coldest capital on the planet.

Originally founded as a nomadic Buddhist monastery, the city has settled into a surprising mix of Soviet architecture, modern skyscrapers and neighborhoods of "yurts" (gers) on the outskirts.

Ulaanbaatar is the starting point for the endless steppes, but it is also a dynamic cultural center with its natural history museums (famous for the dinosaur fossils of the Gobi) and its active monasteries like that of Gandan.

Between a thousand-year-old nomadic tradition and rapid urbanization, the Mongolian capital is a metropolis in full transformation, courageously resisting the harshest climatic conditions in the Northern Hemisphere.
