How Houses Are Heated in the Coldest Town on Earth

Maria Solko of Life in Yakutia explains how houses are heated during the long Siberian winter in the coldest populated town on Earth. Solko explains how houses are insulated, how heat is dispersed, how much they pay for heat, and how food is refrigerated. She also talks about how cold it is outside (-44°C, -47°F) and the perfect temperature for indoors (11-20°C, 52 -68°F).
