That would be really cool. In both senses. BTW the coldest place is not in the
pole but in the Oimyakon region in the north east of Russia. Though it is
inside the arctic circle it is not the extreme north, but somewhere near
latitude 70ønorth. The average January temperature there is -50øC (-58øF) and
the minimum temperature was in the year 1926 as low as -71.2øC (-96.2øF). It
would be interesting to visit the place. In January.
