About Oymyakon: Oymyakon means roughly 'unfrozen water', after a warm spring nearby — ironic for the coldest town on Earth. Cold air sinks into its valley and stays trapped all winter. People leave their car engines running so they do not freeze solid. It can be too cold for pens to write or cars to be switched off
