Welcome To The Coldest Place Inhabited By Humans by zizman: 12:17pm On Dec 19, 2014
here is the coldest place on earth where humans actually live? Oymyakon, Russia takes the ice cube for coldest inhabited location on earth. Somehow the people that call this small, rural town home are able to survive throughout some truly brutal winters.

The subarctic climate found in this region is extreme, as of right now in November temperatures hoover around -38F.

Journalist and photographer Amos Chapple braved the cold long enough to take these stunning pictures of Omyakon after the winter freeze set in, letting us all catch a glimpse of life in one of the coldest places on earth.Generally the weather starts to dip down near late September reaching below 32 degrees F, the point of freezing. From here the thermostat only continues to fall, dipping as low as -58F, and lower.

Around mid-may the temperatures will start to surface back above freezing. The only months that the temperature does not fall below 14F are June and July, but that doesn’t mean the summer months are by any means warm.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in Omyakon was on February 6, 1933 when the thermostat read an incredible -90 degrees Fahrenheit. The only other region on earth inhibited by humans that has reached this same level of chill is Verkhoyansk.

Amos Chapple says it was very challenging to photograph the village life here, simply because the locals are so hard to find! In order to survive the harsh winters they are swift about going in and out of the cold. Racing from one indoor place to the next, bundled up fully from head to toe. As a result, many photos make the location appear falsely desolate

This digger delivers coal to the heating plant each morning in order to keep the town residents from freezing over.

Eyaaaaa, pity these people. But on the other hand, an advantage to them cos they dont have to buy refrigderators to preserve their foods.

God is wonderful smiley.
And also Everything in this world is vice versa; when a place in the world is the coldest shocked, there is also a place in the world which is the hottest region undecided.
Would love to be there someday but for a short period wink

@op will you follow me? grin
