A view of snow-covered houses in the village of Tomtor in the Oymyakon valley, in the Republic of Sakha, northeast Russia, January 24, 2013. The coldest temperatures in the northern hemisphere have been recorded in the Oymyakon valley, where according to the United Kingdom Met Office a temperature of -67.8 degrees Celsius (-90 degrees Fahrenheit) was registered in 1933 - the coldest on record in the northern hemisphere since the beginning of the 20th century. Yet despite the harsh climate, people live in the valley, and the area is equipped with schools, a post office, a bank, and even an airport runway (albeit open only in the summer).

Obyvatelé několika vesnic, které v údolí Ojmjakón leží, jsou na tuhé zimní podmínky zvyklí. I v třeskuté zimě tu normálně fungují obchody, školy, pošta, banky. Jen místní letiště je zavřené. | Foto: Reuters
