Αν πιστεύετε πως εδώ έχουμε κρύο (αν και οι Locomondo ισχυρίζονται πως δεν κάνει κρύο στην Ελλάδα) τότε εμείς μπορούμε να σας δείξουμε τα χειρότερα και πως ζουν οι άνθρωποι στο χωριό Oymyakon της βορειοανατολικής Ρωσίας, που θεωρείτε το πιο κρύο μέρος που κατοικείται στη γη. Η μέση θερμοκρασία τον χειμώνα είναι περίπου -50ο Κελσίου και έχει φτάσει το 1924 το ρεκόρ των -71ο Κελσίου.

The city has a population of around 300,000, and during winter, temperatures average around −30 °F.

Chapple stayed in a small guesthouse in Yakutsk before befriending locals and being invited in their home. "I tried to cook meals for them as thanks but it's pretty hard to put together a plate of nachos in deep Siberia," Chapple says.

A strong diamond trade has provided a "diverse and healthy economy" in Yakutsk, Chapple says.

Yakutsk is the gateway to Oymyakon, widely regarded as the coldest inhabited town on the planet. It takes two days to get there, traveling down a barren and isolated stretch of road. Chapple first had to hitch a ride to a halfway point on the road, where he was stranded for two days.

Today, the town averages -58 °F in the winter months. In the Even language spoken in Siberia, Oymyakon means "unfrozen water," believe it or not. It is thought to reference the thermal springs in town that reindeer herders used to visit.

In the town, Chapple was taken aback by the immediate and extreme effects of the cold temperatures. “I remember feeling like the cold was physically gripping my legs. The other surprise was that occasionally my saliva would freeze into needles that would prick my lips," Chapple told the Weather Channel. Chapple says a full day in this environment was "exhausting."

Using a camera was equally difficult, says Chapple. "Breath-mist was as thick as cigar smoke and so I had to hold my breath when taking a picture," Chapple says. Focusing the camera lens became laborious as well, as the cold began to take grip on its mechanics.

The residents of the town identify strongly with their surroundings and history as ethnic Yakutians. Chapple says that "life rolls on much like anywhere else, but with an eye constantly on the thermometer. Below -58 F° and things start to shut down."
