The world's coldest place, neither at the North Pole nor in the Arctic Circle, but in the eastern part of Siberia Oymyakon. It's hard to imagine that there will be people living here. The villagers live in ice and snow all the year round. At first, it was a temporary stop by some reindeer people, and gradually became a village, where many people settled.
Once people in Siberia Oymyakon area measured the minimum temperature was 71.2 ℃, Oymyakon therefore has the title of "cold pole" in the northern hemisphere. The picture shows that the outdoor temperature is about 52 degrees below zero.
Most residents live on hunting, or feed cows and reindeer. In the outdoors, if there is no protection, the face may be frostbitten in a few seconds, or even blown by the wind.
The picture shows: the village's vegetable market, where the villagers mainly eat reindeer meat and horse meat and eat little vegetables because of the lack of crops. Don't worry about the food outside because it's like a natural refrigerator outdoors.
The picture shows: in the forest outside the village, the lumberjack is working. There are few modern conveniences in the village, and the heating equipment is relatively short, so people still need to burn coal and wood for heating.
The picture shows: during the break, the workers are sitting in the car and for eat. Oddly, the locals are not malnourished, doctors say, and the secret is that locals drink animal milk, which contains a variety of micro-nutrients.
The picture shows: the man knocks the snow and icicles off the clothesline. Locals say the car's engines must be kept working all day, and may not be restarted after a short break. Although there is a mobile network, the phone is not available in extreme cold weather.
In the open air, without any protective measures, the face can be frostbitten in a few seconds or even blown by the wind. In the outdoor breathing, people can hear their breath turning into ice. The picture shows that the hair and eyebrows of two men have been frozen.
The picture shows the man in a truck compartment from the rest. In Oymyakon, power supply depends on coal power generation, once the supply of coal is interrupted, the power station in the village begins to burn wood. If the power fails, the whole village will be paralyzed in five hours, and the water pipes will crack.
The old man in the picture is 112 years old. He has been living on the reindeer. His parents died at the age of 120 and 108. Traditional factors such as pure air and water, a positive lifestyle and a healthy diet make these people live longer.
Most of the villagers' toilets are outside, so if you don't control your time, you will probably freeze in the toilet. Despite the grim circumstances, many say they love the climate and yearn for a severe winter. Life here seems hard for others, but they are happy with clean air, clean food, mushrooms and berries.
