00:00One of the coldest places in the world is a Russian village called Oymyakon.
00:03This place is an extremely cold village where the average winter temperature drops below
00:07minus 50 degrees Celsius, but how can people live here?
00:10Actually, keeping the heat on is essential, otherwise you could really freeze to death.
00:13Since the ground in Oymyakon is completely frozen and pipes can't be buried underground,
00:17most houses have water pipes exposed outside or use outdoor outhouses, the village heating
00:21plant operates 24 hours a day to supply hot water.
00:25And to protect themselves from the especially harsh cold, they pay extreme attention to
00:28insulation by building thick log houses with multiple layers of window.
00:32In winter, fish caught outside are sliced in and eaten as they are.
00:35Since farming is impossible in this environment, people mainly sustain themselves by hunting
00:38reindeer and raising livestock.
