Discover the unforgiving beauty and resilience of life in Oymyakon, Russia, the world’s coldest inhabited village. Adventurer Amos Chapple braves extreme cold to document the daily lives of people living in temperatures that can drop below -62°C, revealing stunning photos and remarkable stories of survival.

Chapple initially thought the locals would be eager to meet visitors, but it wasn’t easy to find people to talk to. "The few people I saw outside were either rushing between buildings with their faces buried in scarves or were drunk and looking for trouble," he recalls.
