Just for a minute, imagine living in a place where THIS is a reasonable temperature. Yep, -60 degrees Celsius. That's -76 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's how cold it can get in Oymyakon, a tiny village located in the northeast corner of Siberia.
Oymyakon is considered the coldest "permanently settled" place in the world. And actually? The coldest it's ever gotten here is -96 degrees.
There's only one tiny store in the whole town.
The town is proudly known as "The Pole of Cold." (That's what the sign says in Cyrillic.)
While Oymykon only has around 500 permanent residents, its nearest city, Yakutsk, has a population of about 300,000, and boasts a fine arts museum, a folklore museum, and a museum dedicated to mammoths.
Yeah, seems legit.
In the winter, everything freezes.
Including eyelashes!
Look at these EYELASHES.

And this guy, who decided to go swimming in the local river, Kuydusun:
But somehow the dogs don't seem to mind.
