THE COLDEST
VILLAGE ON EARTH
G'day folks,
If you
think that the winter where you live is cold, the people in the village
of Oymyakon, Russia will have a good chuckle at your expense.
Located
in the heart of Siberia, Oymyakon is considered to be the coldest
inhabitable place in the world. With a temperature record of −90°F
(−67°C) back in 1933, and an average of −60°F (−50°C) in January, it’s
easy to see why.
When Amos Chappel,
a photographer from New Zealand, traveled to this frozen location, he
brought back incredible pictures depicting the daily lives of the 500
inhabitants of this extraordinary village.
Clancy's comment: Too cold for me. Way too cold. Thanks for the photographs, Amos.
I'm ...
I am totally with you, Clancy. Could not live there. But since I love winter sports, probably wouldn't mind visiting.
