【2017·山东省济南市名校高三第四次诊断性测试With the average temperature for January standing at -50 ,it is no wonder the Russian village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the “Pole of Cold”,the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is -71.2 .This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere (北半球).
Ironically,Oymyakon actually means “nonfreezing 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 (驯鹿) meat and horsemeat.A single shop provides the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeerbreeders,hunters and icefisherman.
There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets—and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular,the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases,the town shuts down in about five hours,and the pipes freeze and crack.
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.
