South Pole Priests Find Faithful In The Frost

It would be natural to imagine that dealing with the fierce climate in Antarctica leaves little time for religion. But as RT found out during a visit to the southernmost continent, that is not the case. ­Perched atop a picturesque, rocky hill overlooking the sea, sits a typical and tiny Russian Orthodox church. The scene, which looks like it was taken right out of a Siberian picture-book, is in fact one of the views of Russia's Bellinsghausen Polar Station. So far, this is the only Russia's Antarctic station that has a church. This makes the Trinity Church the southernmost Russian Orthodox church on the planet.
