    Welcome to the coldest village on Earth where the temperature can hit -71.2C, mobiles don't work... but homes still have outside toilets

    • Russian village of Oymyakon has lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location
    • Nothing grows so locals live off diet of reindeer meat and horse meat but never suffer malnourishment
    • Locals keep their cars running all day for fear of them not starting again if turned off
    • Digging graves for a funeral can take up to three days as ground has to be thawed with hot coals

    Click the link to see the incredible photos. COLD. And to see the blue eyes on that pretty Russian girl.

    And I thought it was rough here at 11 F (-11.67 C).

    That's ****ed up. Don't get why they haven't left yet. Anything must be better than that.
