Conversely, summer temperatures are very low, with an average high around 10 °C (50 °F). [1] This is too low to sustain trees, and the land is treeless tundra. On the Greenland ice sheet, the temperature is far below freezing throughout the year, [3] and record high temperatures
Northern parts of Finland have summer temperatures in the 8 °C (46 °F) to 16 °C (61 °F) range, while further south, the temperature is closer to 13 °C (55 °F) and 23 °C (73 °F). [9] [10] During summer in Greenland, ice sheets breaking up trigger what is known as "glacial motion" or "glacial earthquakes". [11]
This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
Average temperatures in summer are above freezing over all regions except the central Arctic Basin, where sea ice survives through the summer, and interior Greenland. The maps show the average temperature over the Arctic in January and July, generally the coldest and warmest months.

New research suggests the Greenland ice sheet is on track to cross a critical threshold that could cause runaway melting, but that it’s also possible the threshold will be crossed temporarily, ...

While colder temperatures have been recorded at Vostok Station, Antarctica (minus 128.6 degrees on July 21, 1983) and Klink Station, Greenland (minus 93.3 degrees on Dec. 22, 1991), Oymyakon's ...
