"Situated in an area of Siberia nicknamed "Stalin's Death Ring" (a former destination for political exiles), Oymyakon boasts an average winter temperature of -45C, with a one-time world record low of -71.2C. It is home to several hundred people, and until recently a single hotel with no hot water and an outside toilet. ... Nothing grows there, a single shop provides the town's provisions and with jobs in short supply most locals resort to reindeer-breeding, hunting and ice-fishing for their livelihoods. Ironically, Oymyakon means "non-freezing water", situated as it is to a nearby hot spring." > -----Original Message----- > From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On > Behalf Of David J Brooks > Sent: 07 January 2010 14:46 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: -37ºC > > I have, somewhere here, a Polaroid shot of the weather net > work red screen in January of 1996.
