Life in the COLDEST CITY on Earth in Winter (-64.4°C)

Day in the life in the coldest city in the world during winter (-64.4°C) | Yakutsk \ Yakutia, Siberia in Russia - Documentary.

Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. But it is a land of penguins and polar bears. There are no permanent residents. However, if we come a few hundred kilometers south of the Arctic Circle there's a city located in remote Siberia where it gets even colder than Antarctica during winter. Here the average temperature during the winter season is below -40°C and the coldest temperature ever recorded in this city is -64.4°C. This freezing city is none other than Yakutsk, Siberia.

Siberia is a remote autonomous region of Russia. During the Soviet era, this area became famous for its vast amount of prisons. Their worst prisoners or people who had opinions against the Soviet government were exiled to these prisons to suffer and die in extreme cold. However, years later following the fall of the soviet union, Yakutsk has somehow become the coldest human inhabited city on earth. Today over 350,000 permanent residents call this city home. But even with modern amenities life here has not got any easier and this is how people survive the most brutal winter season in the coldest city on earth.
