The annual Pole of Cold road race, which ends at the coldest inhabited place on Earth, Oimyakon, Siberia (Republic Sakha).
The five-day race crosses 5,000 kilometers of some extremely harsh terrain, including a stretch of the Road of Bones, a roadway built by inmates of Stalin's gulags, at a very high cost in human life, reportedly a life for every meter of road laid.
The 5-day rally begins in Yakutsk, the regional capital, and ends in the tiny village of Oymyakon, the "pole of cold," where a temperature of minus 96 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded in 1924, making it the world's coldest inhabited place.
