Save referenceScale & Specificity
The number does the work, -71 sits so far past normal experience it barely sounds survivable. Frost on the child's face proves the weather is real. An ordinary day in an impossible place is a question you have to click to answer.
Title
The title claims the coldest village on Earth in plain words.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail gives the number and a frost-covered child's face as proof.
When your setting or result is extreme, put the number in the image and the plain-words claim in the title. Add one human detail that proves the number, like frost on skin, so it reads as lived, not looked up.
Extreme number in image, plain claim in title
