There are burial mounds in Utqiagvik, Alaska, that date from 500 to 900 a.c.e., meaning people intentionally went there and settled, despite it typically being below 0 degrees from December through March. We are quite a species. Cheers to the folks who sailed into the harbor and thought, yeah, this is is the place.
So, what do we do when it gets cold? Music! Football! All the things!

“A Chair in Snow”
A chair in snow
should be
like any other object whited
& rounded
and yet a chair in snow is always sad
more than a bed
more than a hat or house
a chair is shaped for just one thing
to hold
a soul its quick and few bendable
hours
perhaps a king
not to hold snow
not to hold flowers
–Jane Hirshfield
