Visit Oymyakon, the Coldest Inhabited City in the World, Russia

In a remote corner of the Russian Tundra, Okymakon is a tiny collection of homes with a rather distinct claim to fame. This is the coldest inhabited place in the world, where temperatures often hover around -40C and the landscape is a frozen blanket of white. Just a few hundred miles from the Arctic Circle, the city is an entirely different world, where locals are swathed in fur coats and reindeer forms a major part of the diet.
