COLDEST PLACE on Earth (-71°C, -96°F) Why people live here? | Oymyakon, Russia

I spent several days with the locals of a Russian village Oymyakon. Oymyakon is Russia's and World's coldest inhabited place, and I thought that the only thing people do there is survive and suffer from the Cold. I was very wrong. Let's see what I found out from the locals

Eli you have become better at this than National Geographic and BBC. I have become hooked on your channel, and Maria's too for that matter. You two girls are a real treasure. So many people all around the world are learning so much from you.

Russia has many different ethnic groups and these videos where we both meet them in their regions and learn about their languages and customs are very interesting.
As I am a speaker of an Uralic language which is related to Udmurt, Mansi, Nenets, Selkup, Nganasan etc. It would also be interesting to know more about them.

From Canada. Eli, you are amazing! I have traveled the world, including Russia, but have never seen such kind and fascinating people, beautiful video clips, and harsh living conditions. Thankyou for becoming their Ambassador, and helping us to better understand your country. The quality of your video is such that I'm sure "National Geographic" will be knocking on your door!
