The article from Atlas Obscura on Oymyakon:

“With the ground in a state of permafrost, it takes several days to dig a grave, a strenuous task of lighting a bonfire for a few hours, then pushing the coals aside to dig a few inches, then starting another fire, and so on and so forth, until the hole is big enough to hold a coffin.”

Let’s see the ANTIFA scum try rioting every night for 100 straight nights over there for hours on end, like they have been doing in Portland.
They’d become a permanent part of the landscape after 24 hours.
Chuckle.
