How do people live in the coldest place in the world?
Because of the extremely cold climate, there is almost no grass here and crops can't grow at all. It's too far from the city and the roads are too dangerous to replenish food here. Therefore, villagers in Oymyakang mainly eat some meat products, such as fish, reindeer and horses.
The house in Oymyakon village is very special. They are built on wooden stakes buried deep underground, and the distance between the houses and the ground is at least 1 m. They can't be built directly on the frozen soil, otherwise the indoor hot air will freeze the frozen soil and cause the house to collapse. However, the building is very strong and thick, with four or five floors of doors and windows, just to avoid the invasion of cold air. You may be surprised to see the water pipes in Oyimiakang village on the ground, but it is useless to bury them underground here, so laying them on the ground and setting up heating stations along the way can ensure the water circulation in the pipes.
