Driven to Extremes

Coldest Road (1x1)

:

Hollywood celebrity, Tom Hardy, and former Finnish Formula One driver, Mika Salo, drive from Yakutsk, the coldest city on Earth, to Oymyakon, where temperatures have been recorded at minus 70 degrees Celsius. The only way to travel by car is along the 1,260-mile Kolyma Highway, known as the Road of Bones. Built by Gulag prisoners from the Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, this frost-covered track is only passable in winter when the rivers are frozen over. Drivers need follow only one rule: do not turn off your engine as it might never start again.
