That is more difficult than it seems. Siberia is the most continental place on Earth. This means there is a large difference between the coldest and the warmest season. In Yakutia, the province in the NE of Siberia (inland) locally has extremes in one and the same place of +38 and -70 C. That is a 108 C difference. oO when we look at the whole year, the difference may not be that big.
Now Siberia is renowned for its cold winters. Are there places in the Northern hemisphere that are colder or comparable? No, there are no such places. Compared to Siberia, the coldest days in the coldest places of Alaska are comparable to the average temperatures in Ojmjakon or Verkhoyansk in january. Near -50 C. Canadian Yukon winters are probably a bit colder than Alaska, but not even close to eastern Siberia.
May be it is nice to add the Canadian prairie cities and look at places at the same lattitude. Here, we see that place further south in China, like Qiqihar in Mantschuria, that are colder in winter and warmer in summer.
The reason for all this is the fact that Russia alone is almost as big as the USA and Canada combined. Or better, the Eurasian continent is almost twice the size of North America. More land, less sea means more climatic extremes
Antarctica is larger than Alaska.
Antarctica is as large as USA and Mexico combined. If you overlay Alaska on the 'lower 48', the state would span the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, but would not cover Mexico.
Antarctica is about 30 degrees F colder than the Arctic, because it is a continent. The Arctic is sea water covered with sea ice.
The lowest recorded temperature for Alaska is minus 80 degrees F.
The lowest recorded temperature for Russia is minus 90 degrees F.
Antarctica is more polar than Alaska and experiences longer periods of no sunrises. As well, Antarctica's ice sheet is more than 15,000 feet thick, thicker than any ice in Alaska.
