Welcome to The Coldest Place Inhabited By Humans on Earth
Just an Average Outhouse… in Oymyakon, Russia... Just surviving here should be an Olympic Sport. These pictures from photographer Amos Chapple might make you feel a bit better about your polar vortex experience. At least you don’t live here. Brrrrrr!!!!
A woman walks over an ice-encrusted bridge in Yakutsk. Oymyakon lies a two day drive from the city of Yakutsk, the regional capital.
A guard dog becomes frosty-nosed in the suburbs.
A toilet on the tundra at a petrol stop on the road to Oymyakon. Most toilets in the area are long drops as the constantly frozen soil makes it difficult to dig plumbing.
Oymakon village is quiet at dawn; the heating plant and its constant plume of coal smoke at left. Oymakon is considered by many to be the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.
A house is encrusted in frost in the city center.
A local woman holds an arctic hare, on sale along with her stock of frozen fish in the central market of Yakutsk.
Summer shoes wait out the winter in a shed in the suburbs.
A woman clamps a mitten to her face to protect it from the cold on a -53C(-63.4F) day in 2013. In background a statue of Lenin presides over the central square of the city.
A man heads into Oymyakon’s store. Amos Chapple said that photographing the village was a nightmare – locals are so mindful of the cold that they are only outside as they race from doorway to doorway usually with their gloves clapped to their faces.

Oymyakon has only one shop, providing supplies for the isolated community.

Farmer Nikolai Petrovich closes the door to his cows’ heavily-insulated stable after putting the flock to bed for the night.
A statue of Ivan Kraft, one of the first governors of Yakutia, stands caked in frost most of the year.
Heating for Oymyakon is provided by a coal-fired water heating plant. Every morning this digger delivers fresh coal to the plant and carries away the burnt cinder.
