Welcome To The Coldest Village On Earth

If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.With the average temperature for January standing at -50C (-58F), it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.
Known as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71.2C (-96.2F). This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth. Ironically, Oymyakon actually means 'non-freezing water' due to a nearby hot spring.
