When it's Harmattan in Nigeria, we moan and groan about the cold but what should the people who live in Oymyakon do?
Oymykadon is known as the coldest village in the world. The village which is in Russia is in the history books for having the coldest recorded temperature ever. In 1924, the temperature at Oymykadon was -71.2°C. In January, the Russian village, the temperature falls to -50°C.
Photographer Amos Chapple from New Zealand decided to visit the chilly village to document life there. Before going to Oymykadon, Chapple went to Yakutsk, a city close to the village. Yakutsk happens to be the coldest city in the world.
