Village of Oymyakon, which is considered to be the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world, Russia - Jan 2013

Welcome To The Pole Of Cold
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.
With the average temperature for January a blisteringly cold -50c it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.
Ironically, Oymyakon actually means "non-freezing water" due to a nearby hot spring.
The village, which is home to around 500 people, was originally a stopover for reindeer herders who would water their flocks from the thermal spring.
Known as the "Pole of Cold", the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was a mind numbing -71.2c.
This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.
Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries - where a flurry of snow beings things grinding to a halt - Oymyakon's solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52C.
The village is located around 750 meters above sea level, which means that the length of a day varies from 3 hours in December to 21 hours in the summer.
And despite its terrible winters, in June, July and August temperatures over 30c are not rare.
There are little modern conveniences in the village - with many buildings still having outdoor toilets - and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.
Oymyakon lies a two day drive from the city of Yakutsk, the regional capital, which has the coldest winter temperatures for any city in the world.

Trick Or Treat! Two Cubs Born To Lucifer The Lion
Lucifer the lion received a sweet deal following the birth of his two cubs this Halloween.
The ZSL London Zoo's lion had his very own treat with the birth of two critically endangered Asian Lion cubs.
The seven-week-old cubs nicknamed Pumpkin and Spook are the second pair to be born to the Zoo's love cats Abi, 12, and her toy-boy Lucifer, 8, in two years.
For the first time ever the birth was captured on camera by excited keepers.
The little devils are slowly being introduced to their 28-stone father, Lucifer, who got his fiendish name because he bares international zoo identity number 666.
With around 350 Asian lions remaining in the wild and just 90 living in captivity, the cubs are a welcome addition to ZSL London Zoo, which is part of the European Breeding Programme for Asian lions.
Developing their own personalities, Pumpkin and Spook are already play-fighting with each other.
Zookeeper Tony Cholerton says: "We're thrilled about the arrival of Lucifer's cubs. They're full of energy and are proving a real hit with their doting mum.
"It's lovely to see that Abi is making such a good mother and we're expecting that Lucifer will be a roaring success as a second-time dad."
The as-yet unsexed cubs are currently residing with mum, Abi in their lion den and visitors can see them intermittently throughout the day depending on whether mum wants her privacy.
The youngsters are expected to make their first public appearance in their outside paddock in November - just in time for their first Christmas at ZSL London Zoo.
