When you enter the Siberian town of Verhoyansk, a monument greets you.

It's been called the Pole of Cold.

You can see the mountains in the background.

A YouTuber named Sebastian posted this video to her a few years ago.

So this is the monument of Verhoyansk.

It looks like a woolly mammoth head, two big tusks reaching up to the sky.

In this Russian ice box of a town, temperatures have hit 90 below zero Fahrenheit.

It's minus 38 degrees Celsius right now.

But yeah, cloudless, sunny.

But so cold, of course.

And here you can see the memorial of the coldest place on Earth.

Well, this place the New York Times called the coldest city in the world has now officially broken a record on the other end of the thermometer.

Highest temperature ever recorded north of the Arctic Circle.

It was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Verhoyansk last June.

The UN's World Meteorological Organization confirmed the record this week.

Unfortunately, that's another good indicator of patterns that we're seeing across the Arctic.

Climate scientists Twilamoon is one of the authors of a new Arctic report card from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

We're seeing rapid and really dramatic changes that are experienced as both big warm events,

but also other surprising and extreme weather events, disappearance of sea ice, rapid melt from snow in spring earlier than expected,

and also more water in our Arctic rivers.

But the future is not completely written here.

Consider this. Climate change is not just a future threat.
