If you’re following the trend called ‘reading’ lately, especially in cold days like this one then you already know what we’re talking about!

Fireplace + a good book + hot drink = perfection! Just seeing photos from this kind of atmosphere makes you want to be left alone for a little while and enjoy your own company. We don’t know why but this combination lately seems more attractive than going out in nightclubs and partying during the weekend in winter.

Scroll down and rest your eyes with this cute collection of fireplaces, books, hot drinks, thick socks and inspiration in the air! Enjoy!

You must think that cats don’t like snow when you see them enjoying in front of the fireplace but you’re completely wrong!

Cats love snow and enjoy playing in it! Especially white ones which share the same color and fit perfectly in it while hiding from something, not worrying about the cold knowing they have their fur protecting them from every bad weather condition.

Today, we have a little challenge for you and that is to find the intruder! If you wonder what are we talking about, just scroll down and find out! Use the blue, green and yellow spots as your guide!

With temperatures that reach even – 71.2C, this Russian village located along the Indigirka River, 30 km northwest of Tomtor on the Kolyma Highway, gets the first award for the coldest place on Earth.

The village, which is home to around 500 people, in the 1920s and 1930s, was a stopover for reindeer herders who would water their flocks from the thermal spring.

But the Soviet government, in its efforts to settle nomadic populations, believing them to be difficult to control and technologically and culturally backward, made the site a permanent settlement. Ironically, Oymyakon actually means ‘non-freezing water’ due to a nearby hot spring.

This place may not be the perfect tourist attraction, but we are sure that after seeing this little, frozen place, you will definitely want to visit it, even if that means visiting the coldest place on Earth.

So if you thought it was cold where you are at the moment then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind. Until then, scroll down and take a look at this cold beauty that will freeze your bones!
