Diamonds

Diamonds are the girl's best friends. But how do the girls get them? In fact they have to excavate the stones from this kind of holes (kimberlites). Just to put this into the perspective, there is a city Mirny of 40 000 people behind the open pit.

The price for friendship

The climate of the Siberian Sakha is among harshest on Earth. According to Wikipedia: "On February 6, 1933, a temperature of −67.7 °C (−90 °F) was recorded at Oymyakon's weather station. On January 26, 1926 there was recorded a temperature of −71.2 °C (−96 °F) but it was extrapolated.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth. It is also the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern hemisphere^"
