FLOWN

THE COLDEST REGION IN THE WORLD.

AN. IMPOSSIBLE FEAT IN WINTER SEASON!

I have spent two winters in Central Siberia and have travelled from the Pacific to Moscow more times than I care to count, writes Mr. F. A. Mackenzie in the News Chronicle:

This, clearest day, making them of little let mo say, does not usually last use. In really bad spells men long. Twenty below zero and bright much in the open are liable to the aunshine is more usual

greatest peril of all-frozen työnt Books do not tell of this, but writers of travel books don't always know everything,

Picture Siberia in four great | beits running East and West. To no such weather in the Arctics.

Probably not! Centtal Siberia to the North is the tundra--frozen is far from the waters and the marshland, forshaken except by gurrents that soften Arctic and native tribos, hunters and oxiles.

Antarctic cold. It is the coldest region in the world. 4; People dress accordingly.
