The Most Icy Spot of Werkojank in Siberia
The article surveys Werkojank in Siberia as the coldest region with January mean around 48 F and a record low of 90 F. It notes a population near 10,100 from Jakut and Lamut groups, extreme aridity, rare winds, and severe storms farther east. Summers reach about 86 F, but nights freeze. vegetation is scant with no trees. People hunt, fish, and raise cattle and reindeer. eight cows support a family, milked in summer and winter. Homes are one-room wooden structures covered with clay, shared with animals, while wealthier households have better lodging. The people are hospitable yet punctilious about honor at table.
