    OSLO capital of Norway

    Oslo (help·info) is the capital and largest city in Norway. Founded around 1048 by King Harald III of Norway, the city was largely destroyed by a fire in 1624. The Danish–Norwegian king Christian IV rebuilt the city as Christiania (briefly also spelled Kristiania). In 1925 the city reclaimed its original Norwegian name; Oslo. The diocese of Oslo is one of the five original dioceses in Norway, which originated around the year 1070.

    Oymyakon, Russian is a village located along the Indigirka River, 30 kilometers (20 mi) northwest of Tomtor on the Kolyma Highway. The population is 521. The Two towns by the highway, Tomtor and Oymyakon, both claim the coldest inhabited place on earth (often referred to as -71.2°C, (−96.2 °F) The average temperature in Oymyakon in January is -42°C

    Oymyakon is on the infamous "Road of Bones". Joseph Stalin was a paranoid communist ruler who did more to bring suffering to the Russian people than any foreign enemy. If ever there was a clueless fool, it was Stalin. On top of this, he was also one of the most vicious people ever to exist on the face of the earth. Under his rule, between 20 and 40 million Russians died build the road
    of Bones that connects Magadan and Yakutsk.

    Engadine, Michigan.

    Engadine is in the U.P. It began as a lumber settlement called "Kennedy Siding" and was given a post office in August 1889. In December 1893, a railroad agent named Sam Peterson, who was a native of Switzerland, had the name changed to Engadine, after the scenic Swiss valley.

    The population at the 200 census was 1200.
