-7 1℃ Is the village inhabited?

I know it's not only there, but also special.

In this hot summer, we always want to find a cool place to spend the summer. It's early autumn, and I still feel very hot. Then, when it comes to the coldest place in the world, it must not exceed the Arctic Circle. In fact, there is a very cold place in the northern hemisphere, which is the coldest permanent residence in the world. The lowest temperature here reaches -7 1, which can be said to be very cold. Even in this environment, there are still many people living here.

Village profile

The name of this village is Oymyakon, which is located 800 kilometers east of Sakha, the capital of eastern Siberia and Yakutsk. This village is not that big, with an area of only 422 square kilometers. Because this village is located 350 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle, and it is very high in the east, south and west, only the north is low in terrain and the climate is extremely bad. Cold pole? . It is difficult for ordinary people to live here because of such terrain and such cold breath, but surprisingly, there are still more than 500 people living here.

Formation process

In fact, this place was not a village at first, but a wild place. Reindeer people raise reindeer here and rest, and deer also drink water here. People are getting used to coming here, so they put their houses here for convenience. Gradually, there is a village here. In fact, the formation process of each village is different, but I admire the willpower to choose to settle in such a place.

Housing construction situation

Because this village is too cold, the land here has long been frozen to death. The house couldn't be built at all, so it had to be built on a stake. In addition, the house is at least 1 m from the ground and cannot be built directly on frozen soil. Otherwise, the indoor hot air will melt the frozen soil foundation and the house will collapse. In addition, the houses here are relatively thick, and the windows are above the fifth floor, in order to keep out the cold. Such a cold village has refrigerators, but unlike ordinary people, we use refrigerators to freeze things, and people here use refrigerators to thaw them.

The disadvantages of catching a cold

In this village, people dress neatly when they go out. Otherwise, you will get frostbite in less than 10 second, and the breathing gas will freeze and fall to the ground instantly. In addition, if the car here is necessary, it will freeze quickly if the meeting is not held all the time, so it is basically impossible to start it here. You can know how bad the environment is and how hard everyone's life is, but everyone still doesn't want to leave here.

Another disadvantage is that it is difficult to bury the dead in such cold weather. Everyone needs a bonfire to thaw the land. It will take three days to dig a place big enough to put the coffin down. About going to the bathroom, of course I have to go out. Although the village is cold, it has electricity and heating. But if there is a power outage here, the water pipes in the whole village will freeze and the village will be paralyzed in five hours. But with so many shortcomings, the benefits of longevity will be envied by many people. As a result, if you can get it, you will fail. What do you say?
