Oimyakon - ice fishing at -55°C 

Oimyakon is unofficially the coldest inhabited place in the northern hemisphere, with a lowest temperature of -71. 2°C, although that was never scientifically recorded. It reached -55°C while we were there.

It certainly would! And then I could say, in times to come, that a long time ago, I was in a galaxy far, far away...

Gerhard, thanks for your interest and questions. Life out there is, as you say, both beautiful and deadly. And always tough. Dogs are either kept as working animals (guarding property) or they are wild. In either case, they will usually eat what they can catch themselves. Owners would not expect to feed them, although they might give them treats. As for human food, since almost nothing is produced locally and most things have to be brought in, there is not much option about what to eat or not. So it would be difficult to avoid meat. In any case, fish is a staple part of the diet. However, given the harsh climate, all animals live much wilder and more natural lives, so if this is a question of animal welfare, I would see the lifestyle as much more balanced and ethical than the intensive (and cruel) farming practices in Europe. Hope that helps!

А приехали бы чуть позже, было бы -64!

Нет, когда мы туда пришли утром в сетке ни одной. Но люди в группе днём сказали, что были позже

Не эту рыбку, но да, разные попробовали и всё очень вкусные

Ну да, но мы потом её обратно в воду. Хотя подозреваю, что это было для того, чтобы показывать следующей группе))

@@moryegradov Сдохла рыбка... Она же не "пробник"

@@ЕкатеринаДанилова-з1р нет, она жертва, но это и есть рыбалка...
