Frozen! Yakutia village in Russia sees minus 67 degree Celsius

Date:

While we are lazy to leave our quilt and blankets at temperatures well above 0 degrees, there is a place on earth where mercury failed to read the recording.

Russia’s remote Yakutia region hit minus 67 degrees Celsius (minus 88.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas Tuesday.

In Yakutia — a region of 1 million people about 3,300 miles (5,300 kilometers) east of Moscow — students routinely go to school even in minus 40 degrees. But school was cancelled on Tuesday throughout the region and police ordered parents to keep their children inside.

Over the weekend, two men froze to death when they tried to walk to a nearby farm after their car broke down. Three other men with them survived because they were wearing warmer clothes, investigators reported.

Residents of Yakutia are no strangers to cold weather and this week’s cold spell was not even dominating local news headlines on Tuesday.
