how people in extremely cold places can survive? For example, Oymyakon in Siberia regularly gets below – 55°c / – 67°f, and I’m sure we’ve all seen those videos of people throwing boiling water into the air where it freezes instantly. How does blood not freeze? How are mucous membranes and eyeballs not frozen within seconds? How does anybody pee without it instantly freezing?
Obviously people live in heated housing, but how can people go outside/ pee outside without injury? I’ve wondered about this for years, and even more so when I see pictures of animals seemingly frozen in place mid-movement.
Thank you

Those pictures are fake. Somebody found a dead animal that froze after it died and stood it back up to take a dramatic picture. Once they’re frozen solid they’re stiff as a board and you can just pose them however. Its not like they were alive one moment and suddenly froze solid like video game ice magic. Freezing 100lbs of meat takes several hours at least.
