The lowest air temperature ever recorded in this region is -96°F (-71°C). The coldest town is Oymyakon, which is also in Yakutia, Siberia.
Life up here in the coldest city and region on planet earth is tough, and winter is long, however, people have lived here for centuries. The Yakut (Sakha) people have called this region home for generations and their unique culture & attitude to life has helped them thrive here in cold tundra of Yakutia, Siberia.

I have so much respect for anyone living there

[HarmonicaGuitar]

Let me explain a little. When they say that Russia is a very cold country, this is only partly true. It's only cold outside. But we don't spend a lot of time outdoors: 5-10%. We spend 90% of our time indoors: home, work, school, university, gyms, swimming pools, theatres, cinema, museums, clubs, etc. It is very warm and comfortable there: 23-25 degrees Celsius. You can wear a T-shirt and shorts, and you will be warm. Russia has huge amount of gas, oil, coal, so heating is round-the-clock and very cheap.

Amazing, I couldn't imagine living in such a climate. It's -2 here in the Netherlands and I'm already looking forward to spring.

[Robin-sclf]

Human adaptability never ceases to amaze me.

[StayColdHeidi]

I’m blown away. It’s amazing how, regardless of the weather, we find comfort in the small things.

[Heidi_K_Girl_]

I have always wondered how did they ever build such massive and complete cities with such severe temperatures. I am amazed by the people who live there.

[stormchaser]

Museum of the permafrost says it all. As somebody who loves summer, this is absolutely mind numbing you have a museum essentially highlighting crazy extreme cold.

[donnywilliams]

Can we just take a second to respect the people that bared that weather to build this wounderful town and the people in in, just wow.

[blackprix]

When you’re born into an environment and that’s all you know, you cope and you understand what has to be done. These individuals who live here have been doing it for a long time… They know how to handle it and it’s amazing

[regalnameelizabeth]

The citizens who live there- amaze and inspire me- hardships most of us would say - enough. But so warm-hearted and thriving!!!

[jakaparker]

The coldest i've experienced was -18 celcius in Pyongyang peak winter, I cant imagine these people live in -60... salute

[matildoka]

The sound is AMAZING. I can hear the snow squeaking ❄️🌨️ 💙

[vicoyfuentes]

This is one of the best vlog about Yakutsk that I like the most. I have seen several vlogs about Yakutsk but this vlog have answered mostly all my curiosity how life in the city is maintained. Cheers from the tropical country of the Philippines! Very hot and humid here actually now!

[sharkynet]

Enjoy the warmth Yakutskans 😊

[Spacecookie-]

I'm shivering and feeling cold just watching this.

[flahmadzaki]

Salute to Yakutians and Siberians.. im from a tropical south east asian country.. Malaysia 🇲🇾where its average temp is 30°C.. sunshine all year round, very hot, humid and tropical rain storms from Nov to March.. Thick lush jungle everywhere.. but iceworks has its attractiveness, being cold and all that.

[richardtibbetts]

I’m drinking a cup of hot tea to warm up just from watching you guys.

What an absolutely mind-blowing look at life in the brutal cold of Yakutsk and the Sakha Republic! This video provided unforgettable insights into how humans can not just endure, but thrive in some of the most extreme climates on Earth.

The scenes of you two bravely venturing out into the record-breaking -63°C (-81.5°F) temperatures with proper protective gear were already intense enough. But witnessing the local Yakut people going about their daily lives - from children happily playing in the snow to adults commuting to work - in those unfathomable conditions was genuinely jaw-dropping. Their resilience is incredibly inspiring.

I appreciated the thoughtful context around the generations-deep cultural adaptations that have allowed the Sakha people to carve out an existence in this frozen tundra environment. Everything from their clothing, shelter, transportation and even nutrition is precisely calibrated for survival. Yet their spirits seemed completely unfazed by the hostile cold.

The footage inside people's homes also highlighted the incredible resourcefulness and community bonds that sustain them. From the warm, spacious interiors to family mealtimes, there was such an atmosphere of coziness and cheer despite the bitter world outside their walls.

While the sights and facts around Yakutsk's extreme climate were astounding, it was ultimately the human stories and generational knowledge that made this such a rich, eye-opening experience. You transported viewers to the ends of the Earth to reveal the incredible warmth and vitality of the Sakha culture. An epic journey!
