Where is the coldest place in the world? How do people live here?

People often say that there is nothing strange in the world, but you just don't know it. I didn't know where the coldest place in the world was or how people lived there. Now I know that the coldest residential area in the world is the town of Oymyakan in the northeast of the Russian Federation, which is known as the "coldest town in the world". So how cold is it? We Cantonese sometimes complain about the cold weather when there is some hot air in our mouths in winter. However, the average temperature in Oymyakon town in winter is MINUS 45 degrees. Imagine that water will freeze at MINUS 1 degree and MINUS 45 degrees? Isn't that snowman everywhere?

However, in such a low temperature environment, there are still more than 500 people living for a long time. How do they live? Don't misunderstand those people who are still living a happy life with advanced modern science and technology. On the contrary, people in Oymyakon live a simple life, and most families cook by burning coal and firewood to keep warm. Where does drinking water come from? God is very kind to them, because there happen to be hot springs in the town, which can be used for production activities in addition to meeting people's daily needs. Don't think it's too cold, you can only stay indoors to keep warm. People there graze deer, horses and other animals, and of course they go fishing. Their main food is these meat foods, and their life is still relatively backward.

However, we can't think that the coldest human town in the world is completely isolated from modern civilization, which is not the case. How powerful our human wisdom is, even the South Pole can accommodate many researchers. There are still some scientists who plan to develop Mars and go to the distant alien planet where human beings live. What is a small cold town? Although the town of Oymyakon is far away from nearby cities and the road is very dangerous, it is difficult to supply daily necessities there. Modern tools and living materials exist more or less, only affected by extremely cold temperatures. For example, cars should not be turned off all the year round. It seems that the remote Arctic village is also rich.
