Siberia -71°C: What is life like in the coldest and most hostile place on Earth?

Would you dare to live in the coldest city in the world? Welcome to Siberia, specifically the Yakutia region, where thermometers plummet to -71 degrees Celsius and survival in the ice is a daily challenge.

In this documentary about Siberia from the Planeta Vivo channel, we travel to the heart of the Russian winter to show the brutal reality of Yakutsk and the village of Oymyakon, known as the "Pole of Cold." Here, extreme geography dictates the rules: boiling water instantly turns to snow, and the soil is made of permafrost (eternal ice).

We will travel the deadly Road of Bones, discover how life works in Siberia for the 300,000 inhabitants who face the extreme climate, and understand the unique engineering of the houses built on stilts. You will see incredible curiosities, such as the market where milk is sold in solid form and the local diet based on frozen raw fish.

If you enjoy wildlife documentaries, geography, and curiosities of the world, this video is for you. We explore not only human life, but also resilient wildlife, such as the Yakut horse, and the mental dangers of the Polar Night.
