Photographers Travel To World’s Coldest Inhabited Village Where Eyelashes Freeze And Even Thermometer Breaks

Outhouses

Almost everything about this village is extraordinarily unique. Over the decades the villagers have done their best to get used to the subarctic conditions. Sabrina Barr, the person who visited the village said, “most people use outhouses because indoor plumbing tends to freeze.” 

School Kids

Even the kids living in this region have incredible patience and dedication towards their routine. While we feel lazy on any cold day to go to work, schools stay open until the temperature gets goes beyond -61°F. They expect all the kids to be present until the situations get worse which for us, are already worse.

Everything Is Frozen

“I was wearing thin trousers when I first stepped outside into – 47°C (-52°F). I remember feeling like the cold was physically gripping my legs. The other surprise was that occasionally my saliva would freeze into needles that would prick my lips,” recalled Amos Chapple. Coming up next is what frozen eyelashes look like.

Frozen Eyelashes

Oymyakon recently got one more nickname when it became home to the famous frozen eyelash photo. Anastasia Gruzdeva, a 24-year-old posted this photo on her Instagram account. Now you can imagine the levels we are talking about. 

Group Photo

She also went on uploading another picture with the rest of her friends. These girls are certainly increasing the levels of fashion. Within days of sharing the photo, it became popular as a new trending makeup style. A style statement was given by mother nature.

Unbelievable Beauty

And pictures like these are enough to shock one to the core. We would love to know what encourages people to show such heights of bravery. Oymyakon is entirely covered with snow. When we say cold we mean cold enough that even the thermometers are bursting.
