hi i am diana i am was born and grew up in yakut
and today i will show you how is our life in the coldest town on earth looks like come on
uh
most people in yakutsk use a public transport system
that still managed to work in the extreme cold
in december the average temperature is around minus 50 degrees
when the thick mist makes it hard to see more than a few meters ahead at this level of coldness
it's best not to wear metal glasses the metal can freeze and stick to your skin
making it difficult to remove your glasses without tearing of chunk of your cheek
in the winter here no one goes outside unless they have to and if they do have to venture out to shop
or go to school or work they wrap up very well food boats hats and long fur coats are everywhere
attack moved
people in yakuts go shopping in the coldest open air market in the world
where the fish and meat remain naturally frozen because outside is much colder than
any freezer the sellers are working outside for the whole day even during the cold harsh winters
okay

if you have a car in yakut it's a big challenge unprotected cars can
freeze recent minutes so many drivers start insulating their cars from autumn onwards
it's so cold that the soil is permanently frozen there is a 300 meter thick mass
of ice underneath the city so all the pipes have to be laid above the ground

building on permafrost is tough workers will work at construction sites even at minus 50 degrees
and all the buildings in yakutsk stands on steels to prevent the
worms they generate from the melting permafrost
this is the kingdom of permafrost a town on board
into a permanently frozen hill with thousands of fabulous never melting ice sculptures
we make
um
the winters here are very long cold and dark
in december the sun will appear only for a few hours and goes down at 3pm
i hope you enjoyed our tour around yakutsk and see you in the next video
bye bye
