The coldest town in the world… “Schools are closed from -56 degrees Celsius”

[앵커]

This time, let’s look at the coldest place in the world. It is a village in the Russian Far East where children have to go to school even when the temperature drops below -50 degrees Celsius. For schools to take classes off, the temperature must drop further below -56 degrees Celsius.

It’s a dark morning without dawn.

It is an endless white snowy road.

Every step you take, you hear the sound of stepping on your eyes.

Students with backpacks are on their way to school.

Armed with a thick coat and boots, a mask and a hat, we board the waiting bus.

It is located at -51 degrees below zero, in the Far East of Russia, in the village of Oimyankon in the Yakutia Republic

Corona 19 prevention is also important here.

Each child who arrives in the classroom is tested for temperature.

In winter, the sun rises only during the daytime.

So, at this time of year, students walk in the dark when they go to school and go home.

You must go below minus 56 degrees to take a break from school.

There were many colder days back in the past.

In the 1920s and 30s, it was the coldest town in the world that recorded around 70 degrees below zero.

The moment you spray hot water, it freezes in the air, and the cow that gives milk must also wear rabbit fur underwear.
