A video of the coldest place in the world is making it rounds on social media.
Truth Live News gathered that the name of this place is Yakutsk, in Russia. The temperature there is -62.7 degrees C, which is colder than any freezer. Human beings can freeze to death in one short minute if such people are not properly dressed. It is the coldest city in the World.
More than 300,000 people live and work in Yakutsk, which is one of Siberia’s fastest growing regional cities, despite its cold temperatures and edge of the world location, (3,100 miles from Moscow). Located on the Lena River, Yakutsk is a mining city—and wage gap can sometimes be higher there, making it a great incentive and payoff for the harsh climate.
Netizens have suggested that they build global tourism around this extreme cold while others are grateful they are in warm counties though suffering economic hardships.
