It's not easy to drive a car in the coldest inhabited place on earth, Yakutia, where temperatures can drop as low as -70 degrees Celsius. The fluids in a car can freeze solid overnight, requiring owners to use a gas jet to heat the underside of the car until the oil melts.

The towns in Siberia are far apart, and people have frozen to death in their stalled vehicles.
