How Did Siberian YAKUT Houses Stay Warm at −60°C With NO Electricity?

Yakutia is the coldest inhabited region on the planet, and for centuries its people got through the winter in houses made of logs, clay and manure. No stove pipes running through the walls, no insulation panels, no power — just smart design.

Could you live through a Siberian winter this way? Let me know in the comments.
