COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH
Want to take a road trip with actor Tom Hardy and former F1 driver Mika Salo? This video, which was part of a television show from a few years back, sends the two men on an epic overlanding adventure across Siberia.
They’re tasked with driving from Yakutsk—the coldest city on Earth—to Oymyakon, which is the coldest inhabited place on the planet. Along the way, they’l drive the legendary “Road of Bones,” which is well known for being difficult, remote, and demanding during the best of times. This is a winter adventure that will push them to the max, as temperatures drop as low as -70ºF/-56ºC.
