  导读:如果你觉得你现在所处的地方冬天十分寒冷,那么到俄罗斯的奥伊米亚康村走一走,你或许会改变看法。
  If you think it is cold where you are in winter, then a visit to Oymyakon, a village of Russian, might change your mind.
  With the average temperature of January standing at -50℃, it is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world. Known as the “Pole of Cold”, the coldest temperature recorded in Oymyakon was -71.2℃.
  This is the lowest recorded temperature of any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere.
  Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horsemeat. A single shop provides the town’s bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman.
  Doctors say the reason the locals don’t suffer from malnutrition is that their animals’ milk contains a lot of micronutrients.
  Unsurprisingly, locals are hardened to the weather and unlike in other countries, where a flurry of snow brings things grinding to a halt, Oymyakon’s solitary school only shuts if temperatures fall below -52℃.
  Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people’s faces and batteries losing power. Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.
  Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions.
  Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.
  如果你觉得你所处的地方冬天十分寒冷,那么到俄罗斯的奥伊米亚康村走一走,你或许会改变看法。
  该村庄一月份的平均气温达到零下50℃,难怪会成为全球最寒冷的永久居住点。奥伊米亚康村历史最低气温曾达到零下71.2℃,被称为“地球寒极”。
  对于地球上任何一个永久居住点来说,这都是有记录以来的最低气温,也是北半球有记录以来的最低气温。
  那里不长庄稼,所以村民们以驯鹿肉和马肉为食。村子里只有一家商店,出售种类屈指可数的生活必需品。当地人靠养鹿、狩猎和捕鱼为生。
  医生表示,当地人之所以没有营养不良,是因为他们喝的动物奶含有大量微量元素。
  当地人能经受住酷寒天气,这一点不足为奇。和其他国家遇到大雪各种活动暂停不同,奥伊米亚康村唯一的一所学校只有在气温低于零下52℃时才停课。
  奥伊米亚康村居民因低温遭遇诸多困扰,比如墨水结冰、玻璃镜片冻裂、电池耗电等等。汽车发动机必须保持全天候工作,因为人们担心熄火后可能无法重新发动。
  虽然那里可以接收手机信号,但由于天气极端寒冷,手机根本使用不了。
  一些旅行社给游客提供参观该村庄的机会,让人们体验极寒天气下的生活。
