It is inhabited by four resident meteorologists who man this remote outpost, and use this loo.


Not only do these scientists have to battle extreme temperatures at a freezing -50 degrees, this loo is not only outdoors, but is perched at the edge of a cliff.

And because of it’s extreme location, the only way these scientists can get their supplies is via a helicopter.

This weather station was set up in 1939 in Stalin to monitor weather conditions and assit pilots between Siberia and the Far East.
