Arrival​

Welcome to the coldest inhabited place in the world!

 

[jw5]

Location​

This is the city of Oymyakon, which is located in the Sakha Republic, Russia.

 

[jw5]

Oymyakon​

The territory is part of Siberia, a region well-known for its low temperatures

 

[jw5]

Population​

Oymyakon has a little more than 900 inhabitants.

 

[jw5]

Temperature​

In winter it is usual for temperatures to reach as low as -50°C.

 

[jw5]

Daily life​

Some measures must be taken to adapt to such cold temperatures.

 

[jw5]

Vehicles​

For vehicles to work, heaters are used to increase the temperature in car garages.

 

[jw5]

Reason​

This is because the engines cannot start at such low temperatures because of the ice.

 

[jw5]

Frozen cemeteries​

If someone dies in the city, before the funeral, the ice must be melted, because it is practically impossible to dig into the frozen ground.

 

[jw5]

Limitations​

A local resident told the newspaper El País that it is impossible for a person to run in -50°C temperatures.

 

[jw5]

Harsh winter​

The local resident added that the cold is so intense that his dog once got his tongue stuck in a barrel of water.

History​

These cold temperatures are not a recent phenomenon. Oymyakon has been registering very low temperatures for some time.

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.
