Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to people’s faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.

　　Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed (融解) sufficiently in order to dig it，so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.

　　Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.
