Temperatues of -55°C / -67°F were recorded on November 22, 2017 in Oymyakon, Siberia.


The remote Siberian village is one of the coldest permanently inhabited places on Earth and lessons are cancelled in the village only if the mercury falls below -52C. Despite the cold schools remained open and children had to go to school.


 
How can anyone live there? Unbelievable.
