Back in the 1970s 60minutes tv show did a visit to a siberian town in winter. They sold milk in frozen block with no container. It was a flat disc from a pan they carried around.
Wow, they're not kidding. Forecast on google is -30-36ish all week. I wouldn't be able to cope.
The fact that there is actually a town there cracks me up; its literally like nature saying, "Ok, how about not live here?" "Whatever, nature, don't tell me what to do."
But whatβs the PokΓ©mon Go scene like up there ?
There's a great documentary travel show in which three friends drop everything and travel the world for a year (Departures, it's on Netflix if you're in Canada). Oymyakan is one of the places they visited in Russia. One of my favorite shows ever and incredibly inspiring. Highly recommend it.
this town only exists because of soviet era forced labor. It costs more to heat the town than the value of the nearby coal.
Could you profit from placing a crypto currency mining facility here since you wouldn't need the energy to cool down the machines?
Woahhh I've been to the actual North Pole (well 89 degrees latitude, never made it the final degree) and it was -38. Seems positively balmy compared to this!
I would be curious if everyone has reduced inflamation than average.. Like 24/7 cryotherapy
