Imagine a village where temperatures drop as low as -71°C, -96°F. Here, spending just a few extra minutes outside can lead to frostbite, the loss of a limb, or even end of life.

I’m in the coldest inhabited place on Earth, at the coldest time of the year. This is Oymyakon. Just to stay alive, I’m wearing more than 20 layers of clothing, weighing nearly 14 kilos. Stepping outside from a warm 30°C home means facing a temperature drop of over 100 degrees. That’s why I’m also wearing gloves, boots, pants, and a coat, all made from reindeer fur. And even that’s not enough. And now, I’m about to show you what life is like when simply going outside becomes a battle for survival.

The cold doesn't just affect people and wild animals. It stops everything from functioning. Phones don’t work properly and often shut down. Cars left outside freeze in just a few hours. Since the ground is always frozen, no fruits or vegetables can grow here.

We boarded a plane in Moscow, flying east for seven hours to Yakutsk. From there, we covered an 18 hour, 900 kilometer road trip. When we stepped out of the car, it felt like we were on another planet. The hairs in our nose were frozen, and we felt them prick with every breath. The dry air makes us cough uncontrollably.

Oymyakon is home to around 800 people, spread across 1.5 square kilometers. Seeing anyone else outside is almost impossible, the village feels like it has been abandoned.
