Location
This is the city of Oymyakon, which is located in the Sakha Republic, Russia.
Amazing Info!! Oymyakon is
the coldest City in the World!!
Known as "
The Pole of Cold," Oymyakon is the coldest populated region on Earth and claims only 900 residents.
Yakut women.!!
As for these womens, they drink
Russki Chai, which literally translates to "Russian Tea." This is their term for vodka, and they believe it helps them keep warm in the cold (along with multiple layers of clothing, of course).
The hearty meals that the locals eat also help them stay toasty. Reindeer meat is a staple, as is fish. Sometimes chunks of frozen horse blood also find their way into meals.
As cozy as life may be inside their homes, residents do need to step outside every so often — and so they need to be prepared. They usually leave their cars running overnight so they don't completely seize up — and even so, the driveshafts sometimes freeze.
But despite the hardships of life in Oymyakon, Soviet Russia still managed to persuade people to pack up and move to the
coldest city in the world. And clearly, some of their descendants are sticking around.
