In the heart of Siberia, deep within the Arctic Circle, Siberia's Ice Trains operate under extreme conditions. Starting in Tobolsk, the journey heads 1,000 miles north to Novy Urengoy, Russia's largest gas field. The railway is crucial for exporting condensed gas, and snowplough trains work tirelessly to keep lines open. From Novy Urengoy, the journey continues across the gas fields to Nadym, where a new railway is being built over Stalin's infamous "Railway of Death." This harsh Arctic wilderness is also home to the nomadic Nenets people. The journey ends at Labytnangi, where a private train line runs to the Bovanenkovo gas field, the world's northernmost railway.
Great Documentary. 🤩 But when was this recorded? Aren't trains not on Moscow time anymore, since 2018 I think / heard / read. Now local time, same as flights? 🤔 Nervertheless. Still great.
The United States is only 270 years old! And the United States has unleashed 496 wars around the world! Russia does not start wars, Russia ends them! Learn history!
Not to government also Your war was inevitable fight it now so it will not be huge danger for your country and people in the future If you understand geopolitics you will get it
@@SalesforceUSA because Putin made everyone believe Americans are enemies as well as Europe and of course Ukraine.... level of corruption and chaos there would freak you out !
Yes, same here, Russia, Ukraine look so interesting, and thanks to UA-cam we can travel and look into far reaching places such as this, as for the train travel there, 3rd class looks really interesting, other UA-cam travellers have travelled 3rd class up to first class on both the old trains and the new trains, pretty interesting stuff for sure! Great documentary 🎉
It's truly impressive to witness the journey on the frozen rails of Siberia! 🚂❄ The harshness of nature doesn’t stop these resilient trains from pushing through the vast frozen wilderness. This journey tests not only the strength of the machines but also the willpower of humans. A captivating and inspiring video! 🌍🚆
Russia is so beautiful! This documentary was so interesting. I'm glad the algorithm suggested it. I'd love to visit here but doubt I'll ever get to. ✌🏼 🕊️
I like this kind of documentaries. I feel good watching from start til the end. Thank you for the free informative documentary. I feel like I was there too.
Born in Southern California, the only time my brother’s and I would see snow is when dad drove us to Big Bear to play in it until we got cold, wet and miserable. I can’t imagine living in it.
Wow, it is an informative, charming and beautiful documentary. I really enjoyed it. Wising you all the best man and certainly Russia as well from Pakistan
I really hope politics can be put aside someday so that it's much easier to visit different countries. Because as an American there are so many places I'd love to visit throughout Russia and Siberia.
Free Documentary, I love your Videos so so much! They are so much fun & crisp, clear, awesome & informative so much! Please keep making more, thank you 🎉😮😅❤🎉❤
There is a great channel on UA-cam called Countryside Acres. This is a large family from Canada, which moved to Russia in January 2024. Take a look, you'll like it!
@DimitryrubyRUS I am aware of their channel and have watched many of their videos, I live in Ontario Canada and have even been to Manitoulan Island where they last lived it is beutiful on that island, it really must have been tough to leave.
Excellent presentation! I have been in Russia several times but was always in Moscow and once in Sergey Posad. Really I would love to go around the whole of Russia!
me too. I have a world map hanging on my wall and when you look: Russia is truly massive and I’d like to see some of it. Preferably via the Trans Siberian Railway
This guy took a rarely available train journey. I rode the so-called Siberian RR....really two diff. companies....in Jan 2016...moscow to vladivistok. i had first class coach, was alone in the car, most of time, besides the woman car suoervisor. She tried to speak to me with a pocket translator.....Total failure..just nonsense sentences. Lovelh scenery, rough, bumpy ride. I had a bench and blanket in compartment. This is 1st class???
Great content just no words to elucidate in detail, a huge applause to you man, for the strength you carried with you to withstand the harsh extreme freezing through all that profound perma frost, you are super tough resilience travelling all that far north. Great job man, God bless you. Jacolyn (Srilanka).
In the US, imagine this delightful scene where every 30 miles, you're greeted by a friendly crew of 6 Union guys, ready for a pit stop filled with inspection and maintenance, ensuring everything's just perfect. Meanwhile, the heartwarming welcome of an excellent old babushka makes the journey unforgettable in Russia!
You are so funny..Man, you make Eddie Murphy look boring.😮 Imagine friendly train, Uber, bus, boat ferry , crews etc in America. Jesus would come down from heaven in disbelief.
Thank you very much for this so interesting journey !! I loved it !! I have been lucky to travel once in the transiberian and it's an experience I'll never forget !! We have to much to learn and to see on our wonderful planet Earth !! thank you again +++

As an American I would love to live in russia. I've always been fascinated by the people and the culture and the vastness of the Siberian Arctic I cannot tell you how thrilled I would be to be able to move there. I know with the economy and the tension right now in the world it probably wouldn't be able to happen but I hope one day maybe I could retire and live in Russia in a small town in Siberia

Or the train crew and railway maintenance crew will be lying horizontal in urine soaked trousers after over indulging in the usual British breakfast of booze.
A very good documentary. I enjoyed every second of it. In no way you can imagine something like this. It is warm in here and still I could feel the weather there, 🥶. Looking forward to seeing more masterpieces like this. ❤
I live north of Boston, Massachusetts. I came from Western Poland Little town surrounded by forest and it was beautiful and I happy to see places like that. look at those faces of those people they happy. they don’t need Internet. They don’t need cell phones. they live simple life. I call this freedom.

@FreeDocumentary when the shovel jockey said only lazy people get cold, I was like that's 💯. Stay busy stay warm.
вы просто спонсоры терроризма, помогаете популяризировать страну -террористку. будьте вы прокляты как и все те кто сеет сейчас смерть в Украине!
Great Documentary. 🤩 But when was this recorded? Aren't trains not on Moscow time anymore, since 2018 I think / heard / read. Now local time, same as flights? 🤔 Nervertheless. Still great.
'Private train line ', in Russia ? has capitalism arrived ?
@@Delred1 Russia has had capitalism since 1991. You missed something.
We, the russians, are extremely tough. But we don't want the war. WE WANT PEACE. Blame the government, not the civilians.
The United States is only 270 years old! And the United States has unleashed 496 wars around the world!
Russia does not start wars, Russia ends them!
Learn history!
... We understand ✌🏼 no need to explain.
Speak for yourself sheriff
Not to government also
Your war was inevitable fight it now so it will not be huge danger for your country and people in the future
If you understand geopolitics you will get it
Feel got the Russian people as usual it’s governments that cause the conflict.
The train attendant lady is a rare find - loved her personality 😍
she was Georgian.
What a joy to see Siberia and Russia because I would never be able to travell to Russia. Thank you for a lovely interesting Post.

Always has to be a boogie man. Easier to get your tax money from you.
I spent a month in Russia and Ukraine in the 80's. I would love to return for another visit, especially Leningrad, but doubt that will happen.
Though people... though Race as what the Russian today...the journey also remember Old Soviet union...best documentary...thanks 🙏 from India

Russia and it's peoples are beautiful. I have a wonderful experience of travel in train from Ulan Ude to Irkutsk. An unforgettable experience indeed.
Good stuff! Siberia in the summer is also very cool place. Would be an amazing place to go hiking and camping.

Spoken like someone who's never used a US train in his life, or a Russian one for that matter lol
"greeted by ... union guys" You mean people who are not accountable for their actions, and if you try it, they will make things worse. NO THANKS.

It was really cool, man!! I can't stop thinking how the hell they live up there..And WHY? But you made the video really great! Love it!
*I know they're used to the weather over there but it makes me laugh comparing how us Brits come to a standstill with 5cm of snow*
😂 😆 ❄ ❄ ☃ 🏔
I travel a lot to UK and even if there is a bad weather like lots of rain and storms most trains will be cancelled...😅
Well at least there is something in common..people getting sh*tfaced after overindulging in the fruit of the vine-regularly.
Or the train crew and railway maintenance crew will be lying horizontal in urine soaked trousers after over indulging in the usual British breakfast of booze.
