Pretty cool (pun intended). And no political prisoners as far as the eye can see . . . .

Oymyakon has never reported a temperature above freezing between October 25 and March 17 of any given year.

But for a short time in the summer, it does get hot. Average high is 73 in July.

Wow. I bet that they get their “business” done in short order in those ice-cold outhouses! :-)

By reading that article I just found out Phillip Seymour Hoffman OD’d today.

I’d hate to think of the jog through -50 weather to use the out house.

She would keep you warm!! Russian women are beautiful.

[concentric circles]

Staying warm is a full time task.

[Iron Munro]

WOW!

January temperature at -58 degrees Fahrenheit!

Just think how much colder it would be if we didn’t have man-made global warming.....

[mc5cents]

All I can say is that place needs more C02!!

Towards the beginning of the video in the referenced article, I noticed that the gentleman (male voices) holding the digital thermometer spins the probe in circles. Doesn’t spinning the probe possibly introduce false lower temperature readings as a result of artificial wind chill?

[Redmen4ever]

pronounced Oh-my-achin’ as in Oh my aching’ bones just thinking how cold it is there.

[I want the USA back]

Without heat from fossil fuels they’d be out in the cold.

I would like to visit there in the Wintertime.

[bgill]

That’s where they should have had the WINTER Olympics.

One would think they’d have a number of graves pre-dug in the summer.

That puppy looks like he wants out of the cold.

Earlier this month I spent a night in a town about 200 miles north of Montreal during which the temp fell to -42c which I think translates to something like -46F.My first task when I arrived was to fill my tank so I went to a big Shell station.They said their diesel pumps weren't working because it was too cold.Fortunately the station down the street had functioning diesel pumps.I can assure you folks that even a minute in that cold in beyond description.

And beyond belief.

“A view of Stalin’s ‘Road of Bones’, the route to Oymyakon, on a -50c evening

One might ask the New York Times to explain the road’s name.
