📌FULL VIDEO from Oymyakon (the coldest village in Russia) - youtu.be/sFWtQ5AV0vg

I dived in the village Oymyakon. Oymyakon (Оймякон) is a rural locality in Oymyakonsky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located in the Yana-Oymyakon Highlands, along the Indigirka River, 30 km northwest of Tomtor on the Kolyma Highway. By winter average temperatures, it is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement on Earth. It is named after the Oymyakon River, whose name reportedly comes from the Even word 'kheium', meaning "unfrozen water; place where fish spend the winter".
