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.
