When you see the frost in someone else ... you may have the frost you feel in Canada or usa !!

In Uyimukun village in Russia's Yakutia region, one of the most inhabited places on the planet, Russian television showed that mercury fell to the bottom of the thermometer, which was originally designed to measure temperatures up to 50 degrees below zero.

The temperature in this region was 71 degrees Celsius in 2013.

In Yakutia, which has a million inhabitants and is about 5,300 kilometers east of Moscow, students routinely go to school even when the temperature is outside -40 degrees Celsius.

But schools were closed Tuesday across the region, and police ordered parents to keep their children indoors.

Last weekend, two men were frozen to death when they tried to walk to a neighboring farm after their car was broken.
Investigators said three other men survived because they were dressed in warm clothes.

The information office of the governor of Yakutia said today that all houses and companies in the area equipped with central heating devices are constantly working and connected to backup power generators.

Residents of the region seem to be very familiar with the cold, so low temperatures in a large format such as today did not find their way to news headlines.
