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.

Yakutsk serves as the gateway to Oymyakon, the coldest inhabited place in the world. Getting there requires a two-day journey along barren, remote roads. Chapple first hitchhiked, finding a ride that took him halfway, but he ended up stranded for two days in the middle of nowhere.
