For those who are less familiar with the Celsius temperature scale, -55°C is equivalent to a rather chilly -67°F. And believe it or not, that’s not even the record low temperature for Russia. That sort-of honor belongs to the rural locality of Oymyakon in the Sakha Republic, which reached an all-time low of -90°F on February 6, 1933. Surprisingly enough, Oymyakon remains inhabited to this day. Respect to its brave residents!
