  Welcome to Ice City: Russia plans to build frozen community 1,000 miles from North Pole...
  as race for Arctic minerals heats up

  Russia is to build an ultra-modern city on a frozen island deep inside
  the Arctic Circle - in the Kremlin's latest move to back its claim to vast oil and gas
  reserves under the polar ice cap.
  
  Named Umka, after a popular Soviet polar bear cub
  cartoon hero, the initial 5,000 residents will live under a vast dome to protect themselves from temperatures sinking below minus 30C in winter.
  
  
  'This city will be of strategic importance as Russia's northern outpost,' said architect Valery
  Rzhevskiy who has shown its modernistic designs to an approving
  Vladimir Putin.
  
  
  
  Extraordinary: The city will cost up to £4 billion and be built on the remote island of Kotelniy, in the Novosibirsk archipelago, some 1,000 miles from the North Pole
  
  
  Vast: The Umka designs are based on the International Space Station but in comparison is much larger - one mile long and 800 yards wide
  
  Sources say it is likely to house soldiers, border guards and secret service officers, as well as scientists and explorers, as Moscow gets
  serious about claiming Arctic mineral riches.
  
  All will enjoy a luxury lifestyle in the cocoon with its
  own specially regulated temperate climate - including many facilities to make inhabitants of other cities envious.
  
  
  'We aim to have scientific laboratories, houses, but also
  parks with attractions, an Aqua complex, hotels and a cathedral.
  Naturally there will be schools, kindergartens, recreation zones, a
  hospital, and sport facilities are planned, too,' said Rzhevskiy.

  'We want people who will be living and working here not to realise they are in some closed space with an aggressive Arctic climate outside.'
  
  The extraordinary venture - nicknamed 'wonder city' - will be built
  at a cost of up to £4 billion on the remote
  island of Kotelniy, in the Novosibirsk archipelago , some 1,000 miles from the North Pole, closer
  than any other Russian city.  
  
  Strong winds make it one of the most inhospitable places on the planet, and even in summer it barely climbs over
  freezing point.

  The Umka designs are based on the International Space Station, but it
  is vast by comparison - just short of one mile long and 800 yards wide.
   
  
  'So far it's the only project in the world with an artificial climate and integral life support
  - just like on the space station. Not only is it a new word in architecture, but
  in human living too. We have used aero and space technologies while
  creating it.'

  Electricity will be supplied by a floating nuclear power station. Food wise, it will be totally self-sufficient with fish and poultry farms, greenhouses,
  a wheat processing factory and bakeries.
  
  
  'There will not be any rubbish at all, as the city will have two  factories converting all kinds into ashes.'
  
  It will house workers for local mines and oil platforms which should pay the costs
  of the development, it is claimed.
  
  'This project is designed to work on any surface,
  even on the Moon if needed,' said Rzhevskiy, one of
  Russia's top architects.
  
  The ice city plans - currently with no fixed timetable for
  opening - comes as all countries with territory touching Arctic waters are
  gearing up to make competing demands to the United Nations over
  underwater mineral exploitation rights.
  
  Western countries were stung when in 2007 Russian polar explorer Artur Chilingarov placed
  his country's flag in the Arctic seabed in 2007. 
  
  'We must prove the north pole is an extension of
  the Russian land mass,' he said at the time.
  
  A Canadian think tank this year even warned that 'an arms race maybe beginning', expressing concerns at the risk of conflict.
  
  
  The U.S., Canada, Norway and Russia have all boosted their naval presence in Arctic waters amid warnings of a Cold War that could literally be cold - except perhaps at
  Umka.

  ‘Tis the season of hosiery. Paired with a mini skirt and a sequin blazer (we're looking at you, Selena
  Gomez), or styled with a little black dress and a pair of killer heels (à la Alexa Chung at the Fashion Awards), tights and stockings are a
  great way to add style - and perhaps an extra layer of warmth -
  to your outfits during the autumn and winter
  months.
  
  From matte to glossy, opaque to sheer, and black to skin-toned shades, there's a lot more to consider than just the denier number
  when it comes to picking out a pair of classic tights. And then, of course, there is
  also patterned hosiery (think delicate designs like a back seam, polka dots or
  lace detailing) to elevate your winter style.
  
  
  
  
  ‘Tis the season of hosiery
  
  In 2024, tights should no longer be an obligation but a fashion choice.
  Google searches for ‘tights' are up by 115% since the temperatures first
  dropped, and at high-street favourite M&S two pairs are sold every minute.
  So what styles are we buying?
  
  The top spot is claimed by the retailer's 60 Denier Body Sensor Tights
  (a handy three-pack that sells for just £8 and is available in a black,
  navy and brown). The 40 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack) are second favourite, followed by the 30 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack).
  The fourth most popular pair is the 60 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights (£14 for a two-pack),
  and the top five is rounded out by the 100 Denier Magicwear Opaque
  Tights (£14 for a two-pack).
  
  
  
  
  These are the number one selling tights at Marks & Spencer
  
  M&S believes the decision between opaque and sheer tights
  should be based on the formality of our outfit. ‘Opaque black tights will go with basically everything.
  Often said to clash with black; blue or brown hues are also
  an option.'
  
  ‘Sheer tights are great for more formal occasions and warmer temperatures,
  as they provide a lighter and more breathable option,' the high street giant added.
  ‘You can achieve that elegant, barely-there look with a little extra coverage.'
  
  Similarly, intricate patterns, logos and glitter are best suited for evening looks,
  says M&S. ‘For a daytime or office look, stick with polka dots or diamond patterned
  tights, or if you're looking for some added cosiness, try cable-knit tights for some subtle texture.'
