If you thought using public restrooms was an adventure, then you haven't laid eyes the world's most extreme toilet, suspended on the edge of a 8,500 feet (2,600 meters) cliff in the Altai Mountains.

The lavatory belongs to the Kara-Tyurek Weather Station in Siberia and has been declared by news agencies around the world to be the “most extreme” restroom of them all. The 5 people working at the station experience a life thrilling adventure every time they use the lavatory. Hopefully, they have a healthy bladder.

While suspended at 8,500 feet above the sea level, the view is terrifying but breathtaking, the tricky thing is to learn to relax, especially if it's a windy day and the toilet starts moving. For some of the workers, the toilet doesn't seem as scary as it used to be, they agree it's still a thrill every time they use it, but in a year or so everyone finally gets used to it.

Sadly for the weather station workers, they have to hold on tight to the toilet paper, as it comes only once a month by helicopter. The station gets its supplies just when the postman retrieves weather data from the center.
