俄村庄温度-71.2 创最低记录

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.

如果你觉得你现在所处的地方十分寒冷，那么到俄罗斯的奥伊米亚康村庄走一走，你或许会改变看法。

With the average temperature for January standing at -50C, it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the 'Pole of Cold', the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71.2C.

This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.

Ironically, Oymyakon actually means 'non-freezing water' due to a nearby hot spring. Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.

Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horsemeat. A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman.

Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition（营养不良） is that their animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients.

Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries - where a flurry of snow brings things grinding（刺耳的） to a halt, Oymyakon's solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52C.
