Many folks dream about retiring and spending the rest of their days in some warm and sunny tropical paradise, but there are others that make the decision to retire to a cooler locale.

If you're looking for a cool place to retire to, you literally won't find a "cooler" town to retire to than Oymyakon, Russia.
