Temperatures in the Siberian region of Yakutia (Yakutsk) have dropped to minus 80 degrees Frahrenheit, causing people's eyelashes to freeze. Check out this fish market during minus 49 degree weather! Unreal!

Don’t wanna go to school because it is too cold outside? In the village of Oymyakon, the students are expected to attend classes until temperatures hit - 62 Fahrenheit! Can you imagine the cold? Oymyakon is considered to be the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world, where the temperatures have just hit to a record -80 Fahrenheit. Yay, no school! So don’t complain about how cold it is, because it is not THAT cold.

To give you a graphic representation as to just how cold it was, people’s eyelashes would start to freeze together into icicles! The official weather station at the ‘pole of cold’ registered -74 degrees F, but the new electronic thermometer claimed the weather was -80 degrees, right before it broke down! Still, some locals say that the temperatures have gone beyond that, reaching to a -90!

It is so cold outside, that the entire market is the frozen goods aisle! Because the soil is terrible for growing plants, the locals feed on fish and meat alone. That is the only thing they sell at the market, frozen solid fish in the form of popsicles that people bring home and cook until it is thawed. It is the world’s coldest village.
