In Russia in the Sakha Republic along a river lies a village home to 800 people.
The village holds a spine-chilling record -96 Fahrenheit temperature recorded in 1926 and has its place firmly frozen to the Guinness book of records.
The Village, Oymyakon, is located near a hot spring and the name given in the local Sakha language holds the meaning of “non-freezing waterâ€.
Oymyakon is located in a valley surrounded by two high mountains that trap cold winter air and stop warmer air getting in. This is what causes the big chill.
