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!cave 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 cold 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 melted 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, several inches deep, is dug. The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.
