13.If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment,then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might change your mind.
With the average temperature for January of 2013standing at-50℃,it's no wonder that the village is the coldest place in the world with people always living.The coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was-71.2℃.And despite its terrible winters,in June,July and August temperatures over 30℃are not uncommon.
In Oymyakon most homes still burn coal and wood for heat.Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer(馴鹿) meat and horse meat.The local people work as reindeer-keepers,hunters and ice-fishermen.Here there is a single shop and there is only a school,which only shuts if temperatures fall below-52℃.
There are few modern conveniences in the village.Many buildings still have outdoor toilets.When coal deliveries are irregular,the power station starts burning wood.If the power stops,the town shuts down in about five hours,and the pipes freeze and break.
What troubles people living in Oymyakon in their everyday life includes pen ink freezing,and glasses freezing to people's faces.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to start them again.Another problem caused by the cold temperatures is burying dead bodies.The earth must first have thawed(解凍) enough in order to dig it,so a fire is lit for several hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a several-inch-deep hole is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin(棺材).
Travel companies offer tourists the chance to visit the village and experience life in the freezing conditions.
