Climbing the Coldest Mountain: Tamra Lunger and Simone Moro are no strangers to climbing tall, impossibly cold peaks. But this past winter they traveled to Sibera to take on a mountain named Pik Pobeda, which holds the distinction of being the coldest peak on the planet.
To put things in perspective, temperatures on the mountain reached -71.3ºC (-96.3ºF), turning it into one frigid excursions to say the least. In this video, we get an inside look at what it was like to climb in that environment, in a place that is about as remote and rugged as it gets on our planet.
