He said, “It is like a scene from a science fiction movie.” Let us tell you that due to being outside, Kiun also got ‘mild frostbite’ on his nose and cheeks, due to which he has to take Vitamin D and Iron supplements to keep himself healthy, because there is lack of sunlight in this city.

After winter, summer is no less dangerous for the people here. After -40 degree temperature, the temperature here starts increasing in May. In the month of July the temperature of this city reaches 26 degrees. It is hot till September, then the temperature starts falling from October.
