The Coldest Village on Earth: Life at −58°F in Russia (Oymyakon)

Oymyakon, Russia — the coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth. It is a January morning in northeastern Siberia, Russia. The thermometer reads minus fifty degrees Celsius. Eyelashes freeze into white fringes. Car engines are left running through the night, because once they stop, they may not start again. And yet, in this village, children still walk to school. This is Oymyakon, Russia, in the Yakutia region of Siberia, widely described as the coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth. In this video, we look at how people live there, from frozen roads and running engines to burying the dead and why they stay.
