Oymyakon: A Town That Gets Colder than The Peak of Mt Everest
In addition to being a very cold place, this town is also haunted by darker afternoons with the sun being obscured most of the time by clouds of overhead mist.
All these climatic extremes do not come at a surprise since Oymyakon lies a few hundred miles from the Arctic Circle. It is, therefore, a long shot to expect any substantial crop farming to take place.
The most common diet amongst the residents of the town comprises of reindeer, iced up horse blood and frozen fish. Don’t expect any visiting vegan tourists here.
Fortunately, the presence of a thermal spring in the town’s vicinity allows reindeer farmers to water their livestock. In fact, the hot spring inspired the name Oymyakon which in English means “non-freezing water”.
