Life in the coldest city on Earth - Yakutsk, Russia

I spent a week in #Oymyakon, a remote town in Russia’s Siberia which is deemed to be the world's coldest inhabited place. The lowest recorded temperature here was -72°C or -96°F. Luckily for us, when we got to Oymyakon it was only… -51°C or -60°F and I never felt THAT cold in my entire life! Watch how people brave one of the world’s most frigid and inhospitable environments as we embark on a journey to Oymyakon – the coldest place on our planet where people live all year round.

In Part 1 I explore Yakutsk, the capital of Yakutia and the largest city in the world built on permafrost. Here locals leave their cars in warm blankets overnight to be able to start them the next morning. After Yakuts we took the Road of Bones, a treacherous highway that leads to Oymyakon. On this road the threat of freezing to death is still real if your car breaks down. I also bumped into Brayden Drevlow and Nomad Shubnam, popular YouTubers, who’d gotten into a car accident on the Road of Bones.
