YAKUTSK, Russia, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Arctic weather enfolded swathes of Russia on Tuesday, with temperatures in the wilds of Siberia falling to minus 58 degrees Celsius (minus 72 degrees Fahrenheit).Yakutsk, one of the world's coldest cities which lies some 5,000 km (3,100 miles) east of Moscow, was covered in freezing clouds and fog, drone footage showed.
"I specially came here to Yakutsk to experience such weather - so I am lucky as in December you don't usually get it," said Danila, whose beard, hat and scarf were caked in ice.
He said that the extreme temperatures made his coat much stiffer, while his phone lost charge within minutes.
In Oymyakon, a settlement in Sakha, the temperature was minus 58 C on Tuesday.
Weather forecasters said that would feel like minus 63 C given the humidity and wind.
