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.
