Our planet has many cold places that are a challenge to live in, from the dropping temperatures in Svalbard near the North Pole to Antarctica at the South Pole and many more places. While these places have a reputation for being the coldest, did you know that a region in India also sees -40 degrees Celcius? Sounds surprising, doesn't it? As per the official website of Jammu and Kashmir tourism Drass has earned recognition as the second-coldest inhabited location in the world. Even in the riskiest season, which is late autumn or early spring, its residents are known to have navigated the area masterfully. However, if you are wondering how they survive such harsh snowstorms, a recent reel tells it all.
In a video uploaded by Instagram user @mr_phenomenal_diaries, he shares how residents of Drass keep themselves warm. In the video, you can see a local man carrying a small bucket with some coal in it. The man is also dressed in warm clothing. He shares that when people feel cold, they light up the coal and keep it under their clothes to stay warm.
