Classes are cancelled “at -52 Celsius temperatures for pupils from first to fifth grade,” the Oymyakon village administration told News.Ykt.Ru website. “This morning it was -50 Celsius; all the kids are in school.” 

Located in the permafrost area of Russia’s Yakutia Republic, also known as Sakha, Oymyakon is considered the Northern Pole of Cold. The world record of minus 71 Celsius was measured in the village back in 1926, placing it in the Guinness Book of Records as the coldest inhabited settlement in the world.

Earlier this week, schoolkids from another Yakutia village, Chokurdakh, impressed internet users after a video of them returning from classes in extreme blizzard was posted online.

The commentators pointed out the attitude of the children, who didn’t seem to pay much attention to the terrible weather, laughing and hugging each other.
