Oymyakon is located by the river of Indigirka in Jakutia, Russia.
Oymyakon is 740 meter above sea level. Valley of Oymyakon is surrounded
by two high mountain ranges. That's why cold air masses stay there in
winter time because these mountain ranges prevent warmer air to get
there. Highest summits (2959 Mus-Haja, 2933, 2562 and 2505m) of
Verhoyansk range (or Suntar-Hajata-moutains) surround Oymyakon from
south to west. Summits (3147 Popeda, 2703, 2682, 2558 and 2547m) of
Cherski ranges are from north to northeast. Between Cherski range and
Oymyakon there is a small Taskistait range (2341, 2136m) which closes
the valley in the southeast.
そのページの真ん中辺りにある寒極記念碑写真の説明は愉快。
Villages, Tomtor and Oymyakon, knows their special locations in the
world coldest inhabitated valley. There is several monuments of cold in
both villages. The true pole of cold is somewhere between those
villages on the place where that wooden monument was ones. The chief of
the Tomtor village stole it and now it is on the front yard of the
Tomtor museum. War about the title of world coldest village has
continued already 15 years.
