The lowest temperature recorded in Yakutsk was −64.4 °C (−83.9 °F) on 5 February 1891 and the highest temperatures +38.4 °C (101.1 °F) on 17 July 2011. Wild temperature differences!
Almost the same in Northern Sweden, summers can almost feel tropical and sometimes during winter the local authorities advice you to stay inside unless you really have to go somewhere. Water pipes bursts and all kinds of shit happen but the people just roll with the punches
Normally only about 20-30 deg total difference between winter and summer here in the UK but it seems a lot to me so I really don't comprehend how they live with those extremes.
@@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz Humidity makes all the difference, the air is still and dry as a bone. 30 below over there doesn't feel as cold as typical Scottish Winter.
@@paulb4661 So we are actually living in one of the most hellish places on earth here in the UK? I knew it! Perhaps but at least a car will start and your eyebrows don't frost up. I guess that's also why I have two large and 4 small dehumidifiers around the house. It certainly is damp here.
@@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz I'm afraid so 🤣🤣🤣 I used to take the dog for a 10minute walk at 20 below wearing a t-shirt, down here, I'm shivering in thermal clothing! Below 10 is freezing cold, above 20 is damn hot!
I have been gone from the bitter bitter cold like this for 50 years, but I can still "smell" the winter and the snow squeaks when you walk on it..The air actually feels so different.
I could tell that you were at -40 due to the squeaking sound when you walk. The coldest I've ever experienced was -66.7F(-55C) At that temperature the electronic thermometer died. I worked about 120 miles east of Fairbanks. The Yakutsk groceries were less expensive compared to Alaska. We did not blanket our vehicles, we used electric outlets to power engine block heaters. Driving from Fairbanks for hours would lead to frozen groceries even if the heat was on full in an F-250 truck. We were told several myths about how cars were warmed in Russia, thank you for these cold region videos. Final thought - I've seen an outhouse in Alaska on the spring day when all the yellow snow and ice melted. It was not a pleasant sight or smell.
I live in a city in Northern Canada which has brutally cold winters - the lowest recorded temperature is -53.3 oC and I have myself experienced -45oC - and can tell those who have never experienced it that you can become accustomed to such temperatures, though precautions must be taken when it hits the -40 range. We dont use 'Natasha's' here in Northern Canada, rather people generally leave their cars in heated garages or, if they are forced to leave their vehicle outside, have their engines plugged into an electrical outlet via a long cord leading to your house to keep their engines warm ... though it does not always work.
One guy he talked to didn't even have heating indoors or leaking radiators or something and seemed pretty lightly dressed outdoors???? He must be full of the antifreeze vodka or something.
Sometime the power outlets at grocery stores in Alaska were cycled on 10 mins / off 20 min. Word got around - no power at the outlet was a violation of social norms.
КОгда то к нам из Канады в Якутске в конце 90х приехали работать на стройку, когда им говорили, очень тепло одевайтесь, они смеялись, и говорили что у них тоже очень холодно. Когда настала зима они одевались как привыкли у себя дома, и больше не смеялись когда поняли якутский мороз. Правда не знаю от куда они, вряд ли с севера.

For someone from Yakutia i can easily imagine living in such a hot climate compared to ours, but still can't imagine us northern people to easily adjust to living there since it requires a sh*t ton of effort to feel safe anywhere on that smallest continent i know of. Flora and Fauna are probably one of the deadliest things when encountered by anyone who's not familiar with the place but even more so i cannot imagine how much struggle we would go through in a different climate or if surviving in the wilderness without a guide is even considered possible.
15:25 The way packed snow squeaks and "rings" under the older man's shoes made me smile. That sound can't be heard unless it's really cold. Below -30C, as is the case here :)

Якутск с Канадой в 1990-2000 годах очень тесно сотрудничал. Обменивались опытом жизни в таких суровых условиях. Канадские строители приезжали и строили так называемые «Канадские дома из дерева». Эти дома до сих пор стоят и хорошо выглядят. Так же наши строители с вашими специалистами из Канадцы строили наш национальный центр медицины (огромное здание), так же один из корпусов университета СВФУ. Эти здания тоже до сих пор функционируют и простоят еще 50 лет не менее. Так же между университетами Канады и Аляски активно происходил обмен преподавателями и студентами 👍🏼
А в данный момент Якутск является самым большим городом на вечной мерзлоте. Как строитель могу сказать, благодаря усилиям нашего местного университета СВФУ мы стали одним из лучших строителей на вечной мерзлоте
I live in Louisiana USA where the temperature has only got below -10 degrees Celsius maybe twice in my 40 years. I have only seen snow covering the ground 3 times in that span as well. Snow is a rare event that only happens here every few years and the longest I've ever seen in stay was 4 days and it was less than 10 centimeters deep. All that is to say that Yakutsk might as well be Mars to me.

@@ergenekon4l the peoples living in Asia have a lot in common, for example. During archaeological excavations on the territory of modern Yakutia, burials were discovered dating back to the 17th century, even before the arrival of the Russians, where not only jewelry made of precious metals by Yakut craftsmen was found, but also beads made of Venetian glass and Chinese silk. etc. And so Koreans have been living in Yakutia since the 18th century; for example, you can often meet a Yakut named Aisen Park, Alexey Moon etc. Many have not only Korean, but also Chinese and Japanese ancestors
Not gonna lie, i would love to experience that kind of weather at least one time in my life... I like winter and cold, but I wonder how I would like that extreme level of cold...
As a resident of Yakutsk, I can say that even locals here find it difficult to breathe. The frost can also pinch your cheeks as if with needles, and eyelashes stick together in winter due to melting snow. The skin peels and snot flows from the nose... But I can't imagine my life without it! :)
Wonderful video, thanks again. While a northeastern American, the coldest temperature I have experienced was a couple weeks ago while visiting northern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. It hit -39 degrees C on my last day of the visit. It's hard to imagine people living with that day after day.
Greetings from Yakutia, a wonderful video! I would like to see your reaction to daylight saving time in Yakutia. On our traditional holiday "Ysyakh", to see the sights of the city and not only to be an ordinary Yakut family.
I was thinking those food prices were almost on par with Canada, which is fairly high already. When you showed the monthly salary of $400-$500 for a cleaner my heart sank, that would be really hard to live on unless rent is really, really cheap, I hope that is the case for them! edit: This is why I love your videos, the local said his rent was around $185, but that's for a place with no heat and little insulation. Very tight budget. Thanks for your thorough walkthroughs and showing the prices of food and asking locals about what life is like and the costs. Great documentation and interesting to see!
Renting a houses or aparts is not so popular in Russia. Here most people buy houses or aparts. My utility bills in Yakutsk winter for 2-bedroom apart are 70-80$ per months.
Thanks for sharing, all the best to you :) Wish I could afford a house here, rent and utilities is just over 2k a month. $1500 rent and $500 for utilities, internet and phone in a 2-bedroom apartment. The property owners basically take everything you make. Working on building my own "house" a 40' trailer, hopefully by the end of summer and start saving some income for travelling. @@stepanivanov4125
That was brilliant! Thank you. The city seemed pretty vibrant considering the extreme temperatures. I hope all those ‘new build’ apartments have mitigated for climate change and the ongoing diminishing perma frost. It’s a shame the wooden structures couldn’t be stabilised and slightly modernised though. How old are they? Love that museum also, those ice tusks were amazing. Sorry, I’m very British and therefore a bit small minded about historical things and preservation. Great insight as always though 👏👏
I would be interested to see how people who claim that it is colder in countries with a warm oceanic current than in Yakutia will start to freeze in their "warm" clothes when it is -60, and this is a typical temperature in the middle of winter for a number of regions of Yakutia, even polar special clothes designed to save from the wind do not save and cold up to -50. People in Norway literally walk in sweaters and without a hat in winter, and in the northern regions it looks like winter is just beginning in Yakutia.
In your other videos I was left thinking that things are cheaper than than america. And that is true. But I was always left wondering how that really compares, not knowing what the income levels were. You sort of put it in perspective in this video. Please consider telling us what the average income of the area you're visiting is. And thanks for you videos
Hey, super nice journey 🎉 well done in editing and very interesting to follow. Stay safe and warm and i like that u didnt risk to go to oymyakon just to do it but that u will go there well prepared 🙌
Я из Якутска и смотря как ютубер описывает наши туалеты (это не у всех а у частных домов и или Типо того) я засмеялся ведь это зимой для меня обыденность каждый день утром идти и сидеть пока не закончишь или пальцы не замёрзнут.😂
The traditional Russian wooden houses are so beautiful. Local trees, like local stone, impart an almost sacred quality. They tell stories not only of their built lives, but also of their original natural journeys.
Hey , good evening from New Zealand , love the vids and always enjoy seeing how different the cultures are over there , keep up thr grat work , like it , F,Y,I, facebook wont allow me to share your link , a fkn joke , so much for freedom of expression and press🙂
Nice video, in Poland there was a discount for bananas today - 0.70usd per kilo, I dont think Ive ever seen 3.15 for bananas in my life, so I bet bananas dont grow anywhere close to yakutsk heh, Id rather try some yakutsk fish
Stroganina without salt/pepper? A crime. Shame for Makhtal restaurant for serving such poor dishes. The way you eat stroganina is that you bite a piece of fish dipped in a bit of salt/pepper mixture, chew it, gulp down the tasty, cold, fatty and savoury piece, then follow it with a gulp of warm tea with milk, it goes smoother than with strong alcohol. Optionally, add a bite of freshly cooked wheat/rye bread after biting off a piece of fish.
I'm amazed there are trees. The far north of Canada is not as cold but there are no trees or plants higher than a few inches. Probably due to wind and storms.
Ah OK, as you say there's no wind. Makes a difference. Thanks for showing us this interesting city. Carpets and wood exteriors look cozy but I'm sure it's still unbelievably cold.
Wow later in the video the quality of life looks awful. There are some conditions that bad on reserves in rural Canada as well. No clean water or safe houses. :(
I’m ngl Yakutsk looks really beautiful. It’s sad to see how many disused and barely inhabited buildings there are. That aside, no wonder the population is growing 👀
I love your videos! I’ve always wanted to visit Yakutsk, it looks so beautiful and prosperous! You speak great English too! I wish I could speak Russian the way you speak English 😊
Thanks for the video! it is pretty surreal that you can eat at kfc or Burger King in Yakutsk. That area with those plus 100 year old builings is just horrible! I wonder who owns and rents those? Poor people who have to live there. This area of Russia is one those places that I would visit if given the opportunity.
That not a hundred year old buildings actually, they were constructed back in Soviet time, only in 50s city started to slowly constructing panel housing. Probably because of poor infrastructure it is a slow process, I remember this kind of slum houses even in center of the Yakutsk back in 2000s. There are still a considerable amount of them in some blocks. Owners are usually of low income class and there is a redevelopment project to relocate them, but you know how it always work out in the end. Always some mishaps, some legal troubles of renovation company, mismanagement of construction time, low quality of construction, etc.
don't know who needs to hear this but whatever is worrying you right now, forget about it. Take a deep breath, stay positive, and know that things will get better.

Thanks for your thorough walkthroughs and showing the prices of food and asking locals about what life is like and the costs. Great documentation and interesting to see!
There are no rent. Appatment is your property and most of the population here have their own apartment or house.
Renting a houses or aparts is not so popular in Russia. Here most people buy houses or aparts. My utility bills in Yakutsk winter for 2-bedroom apart are 70-80$ per months.
Thanks for sharing, all the best to you :)
Wish I could afford a house here, rent and utilities is just over 2k a month. $1500 rent and $500 for utilities, internet and phone in a 2-bedroom apartment. The property owners basically take everything you make. Working on building my own "house" a 40' trailer, hopefully by the end of summer and start saving some income for travelling.

That was brilliant! Thank you. The city seemed pretty vibrant considering the extreme temperatures. I hope all those ‘new build’ apartments have mitigated for climate change and the ongoing diminishing perma frost. It’s a shame the wooden structures couldn’t be stabilised and slightly modernised though. How old are they? Love that museum also, those ice tusks were amazing. Sorry, I’m very British and therefore a bit small minded about historical things and preservation. Great insight as always though 👏👏
Love from Yakut bro. I like UK rappers and rock,they are the best.
woah serious episode mate! i got the shivers for real
I would be interested to see how people who claim that it is colder in countries with a warm oceanic current than in Yakutia will start to freeze in their "warm" clothes when it is -60, and this is a typical temperature in the middle of winter for a number of regions of Yakutia, even polar special clothes designed to save from the wind do not save and cold up to -50. People in Norway literally walk in sweaters and without a hat in winter, and in the northern regions it looks like winter is just beginning in Yakutia.
Great video much love from USA 🇺🇸 ❤
Thank you for the video Vaga. I was impressed by how well stocked the grocery store was, and how squalid the wooden barracks outdoor “toilets” were
Never been first on your videos! Complete coincidence I saw the posting when I opened my browser!
So fascinating! Thank you, Ivan! And I like your white eyebrows!
you went to the coldest city on earth. decided it couldn't wait huh. thank you for another video
In your other videos I was left thinking that things are cheaper than than america. And that is true. But I was always left wondering how that really compares, not knowing what the income levels were. You sort of put it in perspective in this video. Please consider telling us what the average income of the area you're visiting is. And thanks for you videos
Your channel is top notch, keep it up man. Love itall.
Hey, super nice journey 🎉 well done in editing and very interesting to follow.
Stay safe and warm and i like that u didnt risk to go to oymyakon just to do it but that u will go there well prepared 🙌
It's good to have that experience
True vagabond. Greetings from Poland!
2:15 😨
Я не помню, чтоб у нас проезд был 78 рублей...
Я из Якутска и смотря как ютубер описывает наши туалеты (это не у всех а у частных домов и или Типо того) я засмеялся ведь это зимой для меня обыденность каждый день утром идти и сидеть пока не закончишь или пальцы не замёрзнут.😂
Ive never seen anyone filming yakut experience but i found u. Im yakut too, keep up the great work lad
A wonderful video once again and always very educating.
Keep going! 👍👍
Fascinating seeing the way the camera image is affected by the cold
I glad to see you visit my home Yakutsk 😊
The traditional Russian wooden houses are so beautiful. Local trees, like local stone, impart an almost sacred quality. They tell stories not only of their built lives, but also of their original natural journeys.
You have really honed your English skills
Just by watching this docu in holland, the temperature in my house dropped with 10 degrees. It's that cold in Yakutsk.
Really nice work!!!!
хорошо что ПРОБОКС КЕША рядом не проходил)
Thanks for another great video!
Bro I'd love to visit your country, hopefully one day in the future.
Hey , good evening from New Zealand , love the vids and always enjoy seeing how different the cultures are over there , keep up thr grat work , like it , F,Y,I, facebook wont allow me to share your link , a fkn joke , so much for freedom of expression and press🙂
As cold as it is there, I'm surprised it snows.
that food looks bomb as hell
Fun fact: -40 is the only temperature that's the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Great video 👍🏴
Wagwan fam, love from Yakutsk, Bomboclaat
Nice video, in Poland there was a discount for bananas today - 0.70usd per kilo, I dont think Ive ever seen 3.15 for bananas in my life, so I bet bananas dont grow anywhere close to yakutsk heh, Id rather try some yakutsk fish
They have some greenhouses for vegetables but not sure about fruit.
Stroganina without salt/pepper?
A crime. Shame for Makhtal restaurant for serving such poor dishes.
The way you eat stroganina is that you bite a piece of fish dipped in a bit of salt/pepper mixture, chew it, gulp down the tasty, cold, fatty and savoury piece, then follow it with a gulp of warm tea with milk, it goes smoother than with strong alcohol. Optionally, add a bite of freshly cooked wheat/rye bread after biting off a piece of fish.
Hi there! Good video and sufficient material.
Ps. Have a good day from Yakutsk ✌️
You make great documentaries. Love your channel.
I'm amazed there are trees. The far north of Canada is not as cold but there are no trees or plants higher than a few inches. Probably due to wind and storms.
Ah OK, as you say there's no wind. Makes a difference. Thanks for showing us this interesting city. Carpets and wood exteriors look cozy but I'm sure it's still unbelievably cold.
Wow later in the video the quality of life looks awful. There are some conditions that bad on reserves in rural Canada as well. No clean water or safe houses. :(
I ❤these kind of videos. Just great 🎉, watching from Germany 🌻💫
I’m ngl Yakutsk looks really beautiful. It’s sad to see how many disused and barely inhabited buildings there are. That aside, no wonder the population is growing 👀
Теперь надо с Магадана до Анадыря автостопом
Super bro I like it ,your coverage very nice.
Who life in Yakutsk?, моя родина
I love your videos! I’ve always wanted to visit Yakutsk, it looks so beautiful and prosperous! You speak great English too! I wish I could speak Russian the way you speak English 😊
So many people out and about. They're well hard
Thanks for the video!
it is pretty surreal that you can eat at kfc or Burger King in Yakutsk.
That area with those plus 100 year old builings is just horrible! I wonder who owns and rents those? Poor people who have to live there. This area of Russia is one those places that I would visit if given the opportunity.
That not a hundred year old buildings actually, they were constructed back in Soviet time, only in 50s city started to slowly constructing panel housing. Probably because of poor infrastructure it is a slow process, I remember this kind of slum houses even in center of the Yakutsk back in 2000s.
There are still a considerable amount of them in some blocks. Owners are usually of low income class and there is a redevelopment project to relocate them, but you know how it always work out in the end. Always some mishaps, some legal troubles of renovation company, mismanagement of construction time, low quality of construction, etc.
Great video!
very interesting video.well done
Would be lovely if you made like hotels there or some place for tourists to stay
in my opinion Azimut hotel is the best one. Also visit Lena pillers(200 km from Yakutsk, its UNESCO beauty). There is camp
Your English is great! Really improved, I am impressed
Geez, u def. Know it’s cold if cars needs blankets. Wow!
-40 sounds like "Minnesota!" 4:06
Great video, thank you!
great video :)
Ah another video of frozen Russia. Refreshing to watch on a hot humid day here in Australia.... 🙃
don't know who needs to hear this but whatever is worrying you right now, forget about it. Take a deep breath, stay positive, and know that things will get better.
