Village of Oymyakon, which is considered to be the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world, Russia - Jan 2013
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Amos Chapple / Rex Features (2087439k)
Welcome To The Pole Of Cold
If you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.
With the average temperature for January a blisteringly cold -50c it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.
Ironically, Oymyakon actually means "non-freezing water" due to a nearby hot spring.
The village, which is home to around 500 people, was originally a stopover for reindeer herders who would water their flocks from the thermal spring.
Known as the "Pole of Cold", the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was a mind numbing -71.2c.
This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.
Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries - where a flurry of snow beings things grinding to a halt - Oymyakon's solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52C.
The village is located around 750 meters above sea level, which means that the length of a day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in the summer.
And despite its terrible winters, in June, July and August temperatures over 30c are not rare.
There are little modern conveniences in the village - with many buildings still having outdoor toilets - and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.
Oymyakon lies a two day drive from the city of Yakutsk, the regional capital, which has the coldest winter temperatures for any city in the world.

Holiday Horror as live cow is fed to Tigers, Siberian Tiger Park, Harbin, China - 04 Feb 2010
HOLIDAY HORROR AS COW BECOMES LUNCH FOR TIGERS
These pictures show the moment a group of tourists visiting a wildlife park looked on in horror as their guides fed a live cow to five hungry tigers.
The shocked visitors watched from the safety of their buses as the fearsome beasts launched into a feeding frenzy.
The cow had been dumped from the back of a truck and made a brave attempt to escape before being overcome by the powerful cats.
Amateur photographer Chris Gooding, 31, captured the images on a trip to the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, China.
He said: "I had heard that the Siberian Tiger Park was a famous tourist attraction in the area and I jumped at the chance to go.
"After a brief walk through the traditional zoo-like cages and some more spacious enclosures, we were loaded on to one of six buses for the guided tour of the park.
"The park was spread across several square kilometres of land with a meandering dirt road.
"Along the way we saw lions and tigers aplenty mostly asleep in the shade of trees next to the road.
"After 20 minutes the buses formed a ring in an open dirt field where we were joined by several jeeps carrying park employees.
"Clearly this event was anticipated by a group of five tigers who immediately appeared from beneath the adjacent trees."
Dad of one Chris, from Ontario, Canada, said park staff threw meat to the tigers and then released three live chickens and a pheasant.
Chris added: "The athleticism of the tigers was clearly apparent and the crowd were enjoying the photo opportunity.
"What came next, however, was utterly unexpected.
"A large dump truck reversed into the ring of buses while the armoured jeeps drove quickly around the perimeter ...

RARE TWIN SIBERIAN TIGER CUBS TAKE FIRST STEPS
A zoo in Kent is celebrating the birth of two critically endangered Siberian tiger cubs who have recently taken their first tentative steps out into the world.
The twin tiger cubs, who have been named Sinda and Bira, were born on April 1st at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park after a gestation period of three and a half months.
Their proud parents are four-year-old mum Ingrid, who was born in Norway and came to the park in 2003, and her mate - 10-year-old Tugar.
Despite tigers being solitary animals, the super cute cubs will now spend the next two years with their parents.
In the wild the cubs would normally only meet up with their father occasionally to share kills; however, unlike many zoos, Port Lympne leaves the male together with is mate throughout the birth and rearing of the cubs.
At the moment Sinda and Bira weigh in at just a few kilos and are less than 30 centimetres long, but they will grow to weigh 250 kilos and measure up to 2.8 metres in length.
The Siberian or Amur tiger can be found in the far eastern reaches of the Asian continent. It is the largest of all cats and powerfully built with fierce retractile claws. It hunts mainly boar and deer and has even been known to kill bears.
The species is one of the world's 10 most endangered creatures and is now so rare that only around 500-700 animals live in the wild; in fact there are actually now more living in captivity.

RARE TWIN SIBERIAN TIGER CUBS TAKE FIRST STEPS
A zoo in Kent is celebrating the birth of two critically endangered Siberian tiger cubs who have recently taken their first tentative steps out into the world.
The twin tiger cubs, who have been named Sinda and Bira, were born on April 1st at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park after a gestation period of three and a half months.
Their proud parents are four-year-old mum Ingrid, who was born in Norway and came to the park in 2003, and her mate - 10-year-old Tugar.
Despite tigers being solitary animals, the super cute cubs will now spend the next two years with their parents.
In the wild the cubs would normally only meet up with their father occasionally to share kills; however, unlike many zoos, Port Lympne leaves the male together with is mate throughout the birth and rearing of the cubs.
At the moment Sinda and Bira weigh in at just a few kilos and are less than 30 centimetres long, but they will grow to weigh 250 kilos and measure up to 2.8 metres in length.
The Siberian or Amur tiger can be found in the far eastern reaches of the Asian continent. It is the largest of all cats and powerfully built with fierce retractile claws. It hunts mainly boar and deer and has even been known to kill bears.
The species is one of the world's 10 most endangered creatures and is now so rare that only around 500-700 animals live in the wild; in fact there are actually now more living in captivity.

RARE TWIN SIBERIAN TIGER CUBS CAUSE MISCHIEF
A zoo in Kent is celebrating the birth of two critically endangered Siberian tiger cubs who have recently taken their first tentative steps out into the world.
The twin tiger cubs, who have been named Sinda and Bira, were born on April 1st at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and have wasted no time in getting up to mischief.

Despite tigers being solitary animals, the super cute cubs will now spend the next two years with their parents. Something the two grown up tigers may not be happy to hear considering the playful nature of the troublesome duo.
The two tiny tigers charmed the crowds by happily prancing round their enclosure. And mum Ingrid showed remarkable calm as the cheeky youngsters had fun stalking and attacking her tail.
