Even in the depths of Beijing's brutally cold winter, their love for table tennis never diminishes. The game is a popular pastime among senior citizens in the Chinese capital, who brave the frigid temperatures to play on public tables.
Welcome to the Russian village of Oymyakon, one of the coldest permanently inhabited regions on earth. Yesterday, the temperature dropped to a frostbitingly cold −55 °C, or −67 °F, but that didn't stop students from going to school. Just to give a sense of how cold it gets, Oymyakon's permafrost remains frozen year-round and it's responsible for coldest officially recorded temperature in the northern hemisphere, recording −67.7 °C (−89.9 °F) on February 6, 1933.
