Year 13 have been reading today about geographer Nick Middleton's journey to Oymyakon, which was part of a project to visit the hottest, coldest, wettest and driest places on earth. He's written about his adventures in an excellent book called Going to Extremes.
Whilst I was looking for information about the weather at the moment in Oymyakon, I found this interview with Nick, from the National Geographic...
The Oymyakon Project's website is also an interesting read, with some great pictures... Including this one - of Oymyakon's airport!
How would you fancy living in a climate like this? What problems would you have to overcome? What advantages of living in a (very) cold climate can you think of? Leave a comment...
