A village in Russia's Yakutia region named Oymyakon is apparently the coldest "permanently settled" place on earth. People's eyelashes actually freeze and the thermostat hits -58 degree Celsius (-72.4 degrees Fahrenheit) with temperatures dipping even further.

Proudly known as "The Pole of the Cold", Oymyakon has a population of about 500 people. Despite everything being frozen, people still know how to have some fun.
