This loo with a view has been voted the most extreme place to do you ablutions in the world.<\/p>\n
The toilet serves a remote weather station at Kara-Tyurek in the Altai Mountains and is perched on a cliff 2,600 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n
Plucky staff who work at the station are visited once a month by a postman who collects weather data, and a helicopter which delivers food, water and wood for the stove each autumn.<\/p>\n
But they have to be very daring indeed to use the terrifying toilet and will surely try very hard to go as little as possible when manning the remote station.
\nPeople have been using the precarious potty since 1939, in the region with a name which translates as Black Heart in South Altayan language.<\/p>\n
A recent survey of unusual toilets around the world found the Altai privvy to be the number one most extreme toilet.<\/p>\n
Other toilets with star quality were also named in different categories in the survey.<\/p>\n
The most expensive loo was named as the Swiss Horn Gold Palace in Hong Kong which is made from three tons of gold and took several years to assemble.<\/p>\n
Scariest toilet in the world was found sitting on top of an open lift shaft on the 15th floor of a building in Guadaljara. Mexico. A single layer of glass is in place, which constructors say will protect anyone using the toilet from falling.<\/p>\n
