SNAP FROZEN 

SNAPSHOTS

 

G'day folks,

Here, it's autumn, but winter will soon be upon us. Check out these snapshots from areas that suffer from extreme cold.

Brrr! Can you feel that chill down your spine? And on the tip of your nose? And everywhere else? Yeah, winter’s here, bringing with it rain and ice and snow, covering the land in shades of white. Lakes and rivers freeze over. Trees lose their leaves and don a frosty, white foliage. Everything seems to be slower and quieter. Winter can also be a sculptor, manipulating the water in the air into spectacular shapes:

11 October 2020 - THE COLDEST VILLAGE ON EARTH

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.

THESE PICTURES PROVE

 THAT WINTER CAN BE HARSH

G'day folks,

I hate the cold, and winter for the majority of us, is the worst time of the year. The cold wind stings, we’ve got to always be on the lookout for ice, our skin is eternally dry, we have to stick on about four layers of clothes before venturing outside, the sun is on vacation, and everything, as some of the pictures below show, freezes immediately. There’s no doubt about it…winter is tough!
