Discover the Pole of Cold in this soft adventure tour! Travel to the World’s Coldest Inhabited Place – Oymyakon,

as Yakutia, in the remote north east of Russia. The village Oymyakon, in the Oymyakon valley, is surrounded by high
mountain ranges which prevent warmer air from getting into the valley, making it extremely cold in the winter. The cold
air cannot leave the valley and collects there for several months. There, middle January temperature is –50,0°C.
Sometime it drops down to -68°C. The lowest negative temperature of -71.2°C was recorded there in 1926.What does
