To save the earth supreme deity Yuryun Aar Toyon rim with North Star ice maiden Muus Kudulu. She landed on top of the earth - the Arctic Ocean. So she became the mistress of the Arctic Ocean. Then travel around the world to stop the heat and bring order to the land. Wherever he sets foot - everything is covered with ice, chained disease, the bodies of dead animals in the impenetrable armor and freeze all living things.

So she came to Yakutia, is not blocked her path Oimyakon rock. Then she saw the last remaining living being. At the top of the highest mountain with a flower, pinched in the trunk, I stood a lone mammoth. But he did not spare the gigantic power of the Virgin, it is also icebound.

Realizing what had just destroyed the last living thing, Muus Kudulu was in despair. In the hearts she snatched the flower from a frozen mammoth's trunk and forcefully tossed it into the sky with the words "name you Cholbon Kuo! Now and for ever and ever here is your place.

But before Ms. Winter as a merciful mother, every year carefully envelops the earth in a fluffy snow blanket that protects all life from his gigantic strength.
