Frozen Rissbach Gorge

The river Rissbach has it’s origin near the Eng Alp in the Alpine Park Karwendel. It runs after 26 km into the River Isar which runs through Lake Sylvenstein soon afterwards.

Standing on the bridge that crosses the river Rissbach at the famous Rissbach Gorge and marks the border between Austria and Germany. Under the bridge the Rissbach rumbles down the narrow gorge and falls down over a series of three drops. The walls are vertical and have deep undercuts.

That’s what I see on my way home in the evening. In the last Friday evening, Dec. 4, 2009, we had -41ºC and fog and no winds. So the frost was almost dry and burning, and my quickly frozen camera was slow to take pictures. Many unfocused shots were just deleted. See the left pics.

Cold weather hits Interior Alaska

Renato, I’ve read the following news from The Associated Press on Nov. 22, 2009. Is it true? Confused with all these F/C degrees. Can you give clearification?

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) – It’s been bitter cold in Bettles, a small village 200 miles north of Fairbanks.

The village in the foothills of the Brooks Range recorded a new record low temperature of 47 degrees below zero on Saturday. It was the fifth day in a row a new record low was set in the town, and the sixth day in a row that the temperature was more than 40 below zero. (more…)

The first frost hit the Verkhoyansk, the coldest town on Earth

The first frost hit the Verkhoyansk, the coldest town on Earth

Further, please, see the current Yakutia Weather Map:

Yakutia Weather Map, as of Nov. 10, 2009.

Yakutia Weather Map, as of Nov. 10, 2009.

See the enlarged map at Maps.Mail.ru

I need to make clarification. According to my personal daily observation, Verkhoyansk keeps the position of the coldest town in Yakutia, Siberia/Russia. It is usually colder than in Oymyakon. Besides, you have to know, that Oymyakon, the well-known as the Pole of Cold, is not a town or city. It is a little village. So it can be considered as the coldest town on Earth at all. Verkhoyansk has the official status of town.
