Oymyakon, Indigirka River, Sakha Republic, Russia

Oymyakon (Russian: Оймяко́н, Sakha: Өймөкөөн, Öymököön) is a rural locality (a selo) in Oymyakonsky District of the Sakha Republic, Russia, located along the Indigirka River, 30 kilometers (19 mi) northwest of Tomtor on the Kolyma Highway.
Etymology
It is named after the Oymyakon River, whose name comes from the Even word kheium 'unfrozen patch of water; place where fish spend the winter.' Though, by contraries, the dictionary of Tungusic languages says Even word heyum (hэjум) (kheium seems misspelling) is 'frozen lake.'
