A Russian woman was frozen to a railway track after she slipped and fell in temperatures of minus 30 Celsius and grabbed the metal track with her bare hands.
Irina Ivanova, 62, slipped as she walked across railway tracks in Tyumen in western Siberia. But when she tried to get up she found her bare hand had stuck to the track in the cold.
She was found an hour later by a passer by who called rescue services. Workers who could not free her hand from the metal track had to use welding torches to cut the metal - and she was taken to hospital where doctors managed to release her.
She was treated for hypothermia and frost bite - and doctors are still waiting to see if she will lose the use of her hand or not.
