please. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots the v.i.p.'s interviews intriguing story for you. then try. to find out more visit our big teeth. this isn't your old ricci you know this car is being specially modified it's about to undergo one of the toughest journeys in russia and everything needs to be perfect. this car is in you chrystia one of the most extreme places on the planet

you don't want to break down unprepared out here like this whole jack is used to hoist the car up with. a shovel without one they went by you compete on the rise because the conditions can be pretty extreme. you'll probably need it. and once the new times are on and the motors find need to this car is off to the races. ladies and gentlemen start your engines. is home to the mammoth driving club and 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 not for a drive is paradise but it might be my very first rally but we're not doing anything by hordes 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 the temperature of minus seventy one point two degrees celsius. we had a thousand kilometers to go and three days to do its. military has been making this journey for five years. the most important thing

is to be on. speed driving well it doesn't really matter very much. arriving ahead of time. as well as for being behind. 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. we had around four hundred kilometers to cover. the. times with plenty of time to kill. me through the navigation. direction. to go straight ahead. so if i say. two hundred.

two hundred makes us. want to talk. to one hundred times the right. speed limit is sixty five. five hundred. with little empty spaces as far as the eye can see it's tempting to put your foot down for the judges always seems to be just around the corner waiting to check up on your. meds fourteen twenty seven thirty car number twenty the helmets are ok which if you don't think i can see the first ten racers their helmets and lights are fine. so we've got about one hundred kilometers 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 pitch black out. 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 road. 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. let 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 but. the story. is a sobering experience driving here and all mood was only improve. 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 sued 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 sore even larry. in front. how much time we're going to lose. james. for a bit under a. true number twenty seven accident it's come off the road it will hit me but i hope it's going to hope that we're. relatively close to somebody else now come and pull it out. because there's no way i'm getting back up that's. all realistically. stuff to see if we can repair it so we get out as quickly as possible with.

and where is somebody. teach me. what must. do the trick. with a bit of luck and it's taken so that money on this. earth . from my family.

to take it easy and don't rev it up because i'm a maker of silly i would like to argue. even the rights rights rights. we did but. now thanks to me i. 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. through 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 this. 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 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 clamp black because of the color of the loose shale which always threatens to drop down on your head and clump because your car is literally stuck between a rock and a very nasty drop. be careful because this road is itself really narrow. bands don't forget the president says roughly one hundred

two hundred fifty meters. looks like that's going to be the biggest challenge we're going to face. and a very steep. so ever so slowly we negotiated the black clumps two hundred kilometers lorries and our 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 tonto. mission free accreditation free transport charges free. range with three risk free. time free.

days of driving have taken us from the town hall just on the edge of the poll of polls. we still have a few hours to kill before

a final leg. i wanted to see more of this frozen rural community. but you do need to keep your wits about you. what are you doing. even children. look at that now that it. was just too much for one thing in the admissions. i'm already dreading the keep the cold. well the youngsters don't seem to lack for energy but how about the rest of tom sawyer 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 past times. almost at the most guns to remember this traditional you could instrument called the homeless it's been played for centuries. 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 cam 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 even if we talk. he's going to break when i could let it go. i was going to run right into that house. are you going. to getting started. well i just about escaped with my neck andre was ready for a fresh ing south. with a newfound respect for the people of. heading back into the center to watch something rather special. we timed to coincide with the area's pole of cold festival and things were just about to get started.

with the blessings of the priest ringing in our ears 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 tires 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 were 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. fifty meters. guineas. oh i don't believe it. big. big and exhausting but we made it.

the adrenaline had worn off we jumped out to wait for all races to finish that time charles. 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. 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 it 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 like to do a lot. in contrast to the jeep try fate was 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 a. pole is the symbol of the basic cold if you use is one one in fakery and another in mosques 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 fifty 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 the 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 horse is 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 know. the first one. in.

fact. this is a first i mean. 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 wheels or other ingredients. perhaps unsurprisingly they were cold. mixing. well. it's a good thing going to get a sweat up so you want something cold all through it. i mean this place you don't

even need a freezer just put it out on the window sill. our old car every morning when you're outside mr gooch an ice cream 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 those feel good 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 to be here. with some 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 pole of cold and so i have in honor of my mom. mary brown famous chicken casserole. but if i manage to do it justice so let's see if we can get some take his. oh it was all i do you blew the ipad

focused. because it all with bacon and vegetables who cooked it i cooked it's really yes you in stride. i don't like it i'm pleased. houdini casserole. at my mum's recipe. from england. to look at this this. are a good moment be proud of this i've got an cooing i'm going to carry around the block already i have a daughter your age. it seemed 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 that i'm stealing their business. and the food wasn't the only success of the day seems to me james brown from forty england.

are awarded this paschal 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 call in joe 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.
