World's coldest village records temperature of -62Â°C
Russian village Oymyakon is believed to be the coldest permanently inhabited settlement on Earth. A digital thermometer meant as a tourist attraction recorded a temperature of -62Â°C before it broke down due to the cold, while residents were photographed with frozen eyelashes. Interestingly, Oymyakon houses 500 residents and was once a stopover for reindeer herders in the 1920s and 1930s.
