the capital you could home to the mammoth driving club then when these boys and girls get together they get a rather special sendoff. yeah maybe the size of india but it's below freezing here for at least seven months of the year and less than a million people are spread out over its three million square kilometers of space it's a vast wilderness but it's enough for a driver's paradise but it might be one very first rally but we're not doing anything because of the larry and i going to one of the world's most inhospitable places along one of its most infamous roads the pole of cold along the road of bones. we were heading to. the coldest inhabited place on the planet this small frozen

town once recorded a temperature of minus seventy one point two degrees celsius we had a thousand kilometers to go and three days to do it. we started off in convoy across the frozen lake my copilot valarie has been making this journey for five years. not the most important thing is to be on time. speed driving well it doesn't really matter very much. as you are arriving ahead of time . as well as for being behind your allotted time we have to follow the legend if it says fifty kilometers an hour we keep to the speed limit of fifty. because of the treacherous conditions the main aim of the rally is to arrive in one piece and from the first to the last speed is. one we had around four hundred kilometers to cover and it wasn't long before we started to thin out. times

with plenty of time to kill. me through the navigation. tell you which direction. means to go straight ahead. so if i say twelve o'clock two hundred. main street on foot two hundred makes us ok. one hundred. one o'clock. one hundred meters turn to the right. the speed limit is sixty five it's going well. five hundred meters. was mostly empty spaces as far as the eye can see it's tempting to put your foot down but the judge is always seems to be just around the corner waiting to check up on you. fourteen twenty seven thirty car number twenty the helmets are ok. i can see the first ten racers their helmets and lights

are fine. so we've got about one hundred think a moment is remaining tonight so that should be about three hours give or take on this road it's obviously very helpful because the military is giving me the expert instruction. assuming we have no unfortunate accident. we might just make it before it gets blackout. that's why lights makes this silent road even more eerie and it's hardly surprising because this is the notorious highway. the prisoners were sent out to. in the late thirty's. this is a manmade right. it's built using spades and it's.

more because of the tough working conditions. many prisoners well they just couldn't survive when they died on the road. and in those days. they didn't even bury the dead. but left the bodies out on the road. just covering them with them with stones. so the bodies stay there forever. that's why they call it the road of buttons. the story. is a sobering experience driving here and a mood was only improved when we passed the checkpoints and the cheering crowds. it was uplifting to think that the locals would stand outside in these bitter temperatures just to cheer us on and we soon started playing games to pass the time

although i was soon going to wish that i hadn't. but. something beginning with. blake. yeah. i was so sorry for larry mass. in front. and how much time we're going to lose here. james. never but under a. true number twenty seven accident had come off the road they were him e l o p. it's going to where. relatively close to somebody else now come and pull it out.

because there's no way i'm getting back. no realistically. stuff to see if we can for paris we get out as quickly as possible with a. stupid . where is somebody. teach me. what muslims. should do the trick. with a bit of luck and it's they can sort them on this. earth

. or something like. take it easy. because i make it silly i would like to argue. right right right. what your. we did but. no thanks to me i. live another day. with no brushes with the local wildlife. and

a good night's rest. day one has been eventful and we haven't even got to the hard part yes states to was a five hundred kilometer journey to the town of. to some of you could see his wildest and most breathtaking scenery. the next morning everyone was up early and getting ready to go flags were adjusted and equipment loaded on to the cars. ok let's go. it was time to set off for hours here there's just nothing but you and the landscape. it wasn't long before we stumbled onto a natural way sis. the local school the kluge or warm spring. well in this case it's all relative i suppose.

but it's below freezing for almost eight months of the year something as simple as running water is a rare find indeed and when you do stumble upon a little miracle in the middle of the permafrost. you've really go to make the most of it. very refreshing. and it was the last break we were going to get for a long while because we were about to enter the most dangerous parts of the whole highway. this is the. black clam. black because of the color of the loose shale which always threatens to drop down on your head and clump because your color is literally stuck between a rock and

a very nasty drop. big cattle because this road is itself really narrow. hands don't forget the president says roughly a hundred to two hundred fifty meters. looks like that's going to be the biggest challenge we're going to face. barely any roads and a very steep cliff. so ever so slowly we negotiated the black clumps two hundred kilometers lorries and the fellow races whipped up the dust all around us. and surprisingly it's ok hours but finally we emerged at the bottom and on the road to the frozen and

fascinating town of tom cole. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. more

news today violence is once again flared up the first these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operation to rule the day. dangerous experiments on prisoners they want to make money and they have to use healthy guinea pigs in the regular society they're not able to use prisoners i mean more they wish they could. drug tests on human guinea pigs. paid to pop the deadly pills to get it passed away he was killed.

he didn't pass away they let him get. his pharmacy really about helping people.

two solid days of driving had taken us from the to the town of tom sawyer just on the edge of the pole of colton. we still had a few hours to kill before our final leg. and i wanted to see more of this frozen rural community. but you do need to keep your wits about you. boy. what are you doing here. even children. very very little. and then meant was just too much for one. hour i'm already tired of the keep telling record. well the youngsters don't seem to lack for energy but how about the rest of toms or around two thousand people live here in jury one of the hall sister continental climates in the world life certainly seems anything but easy but you

know you're dealing with a tough community where ninety nine percent of them don't even have an insulated loo. despite the hardships most of the villages are happy here and playing the summers is one of their favorite pastimes. almost at the most a guy needs to remember that some of the this traditional you could instrument is called the hum morse it's been played for centuries. this book where it's a really interesting thing because it helps you relax and come down. when you play it your main cam in any stressful situation going on. when a person lives in harmony with nature and remains calm and free within themselves then they become very strong.

and that means plenty of exercise whatever the weather. ok well i believe what andre was. saying about this group you know if we talk. to you because you're going to break what i could let it go girl who. is going to run right into that house up or. are you going. to just getting started. while i just about escaped with my nick andre was ready for a fresh inshallah. with a newfound respect for the people. i headed back into the center to watch something

rather special. we timed to coincide with the area's poll of cold festival and things were just about to get started. with the blessings of the priest. but larry and i headed to our trusty toyota for one last effort. so this is it the final stage after our accident we've still got quite a lot of time to make up but i am feeling confident. so today it's time to the tundra and all of the oil because. the last leg is a good old fashioned sprint finish. no worries about cliff edges here it's just straight pedal to the metal and home. we just had forty

kilometers to go we weren't going to win but that didn't mean we weren't going to try. to go. twelve o'clock two hundred basis. because hundred fifty mazes one hundred races. seems to me to. say guineas. oh i don't believe it. big.

big and exhausting but we made it. the adrenalin and we jumped out to wait for all fellow races to finish that time trials. and i went out to check on one of the drivers. oh you guys congratulations thank you how did you go fantastic feeling. i was a reach. but it was a bit of a tricky road. almost all the taken in and it wasn't long before the spine is came out for. completion of the race in one piece but they had been a few hairy moments and i wanted to find out what keeps valarie coming back a year off to. get interested in motor vehicles when i was still a kid my dad had

a cow and now i repair it with my own hands i love tinkering with cars. there are lots of different kinds of car racing today's was a speed rice which means a whole ton of adrenaline rush honestly speaking i liked it a lot. in contrast to the g eight try for a while it's just a cross country race but here it's racing in its purest form. which finally made it to the famous pole of culture in one hundred twenty six they recorded a temperature of minus seventy one point two degrees here making of the coldest place in the northern hemisphere and the coldest in how to place on earth. the cold is the symbol of the face a cold it loses one one in fakery and another in my box and that means that spring is on its way. we would having to enjoy quite such extreme

temperatures so i was able to walk around the village without freezing to death but one woman who knows just how bad the weather can get here is the local meteorologist. the lowest temperature in february was minus thirty five point eight as a rule the lowest temperature is occurred just before sunrise if we're talking about minus fifty five that means temperatures may go up and down throughout the day but the average is about the same. this here is a ditch cold air comes down here from the mountains and stays in the valley. as long as we don't have wind we have stagnation. if there is wind here then that would agitate things and it wouldn't be like this. despite the harsh conditions visitors flock to cold every year even in the coldest

months to see how the town gets through the winter. the most popular attractions are the local horses they may be small but they're tough as nails. and you could horses a unique breed considering that it's always lived around here. it's unique in the sense that it can withstand the bitter cold in winter temperatures drop to minus fifty degrees these horses can handle the cold without a stable and don't need a lot of food they forage under the snow and don't need much attention. in a region where it's almost impossible to grow crops the horses are also popular on the dinner table but there are a few other local dishes i was keen to try out though and susannah knows the best ones by heart. right. don't. you have

to get. first. in. fact. this is a first for me so. what. after. this is a piece of the local river that will be boiling up. was going to get a bit of local flavor as you can see making a cup of tea is not exactly a simple process here but while the kettle was on we got our other ingredients and perhaps unsurprisingly they were cold. mixing.

well. it's a good thing going to get a sweater so you want something cold all through it. but in this place you don't even need a freezer just put it out on the windowsill with. our own car every morning when you're outside mr goodman our screen or something. and i got a little color a surprise up my sleeve for them as well. well i've been enjoying some local delicacies my fellow races have been getting ready for the end of the polish cold festival and it was promising to be a great event. this is one of the social highlights of the year and everyone comes out to enjoy the fun

including a few very special guests. this. month fifth of the. organization is working very rare and go through it and a very. good thing. for the people here. may have very wrong so if you did have a choice between the north pole and the poll of polls which one would you pick if you have the thing but i like the. sun to seal of approval it was time for a spot of lunch and this time i had something of my own to serve up so everyone's cooked a lot of local food for the festival but i decided what's wrong and bring a little bit of britain to the poll of polls and so i have an owner of my mum. mary brown famous chicken casserole. but if i wanted to do it justice

so let's see if we can get some take his. oh it was all i do. but focused totally because it all with bacon and vegetables who cooked it i could see it's really yes the in stride. but i would like it i'm pleased. houdini casserole. at my mum's recipe. from england. to look at this this. i reckon my mama be proud of this i've got an curing i'm going to carry around the block already i have a daughter here a guess that. it seems that my career is a market trader was often running and soon we had an empty source but. i think they get really annoyed with me over there for stealing their business. and the food

wasn't the only success of the day. james brown from foggy england. are awarded this trophy from the mammoth club. we came we saw we just about finished but i was pleased as punch with the trophy. i've been to quite a few unusual places but i never thought i'd be in the coldest inhabited place on earth the people who enjoy conditions most of us would think were unbearable but still find ways to live happy fulfilled lives it's truly an adventure to get here but if you are driving make sure you watch out for the horses. welcome to teal one i hear you can feel at home.

there are three choices in life the first is to work in. a miserable way like a slave. the second is to jump the wall and catch the american dream. most. of. the other choice is to become a member of an organisation and get inside the growing trade. to buy something will never forget. the group has. made for what i've done i would never stop
