    10-minute documentary and I never saw a single butterfly?? A strong, resilient people, dependant on each other for life itself. Humbling for all residents, no one life is worth more than the next. They could teach the rest of us an outstanding life lesson. Love your neighbour as you love yourself, hum, where have I heard that before?

    The coldest town on earth ..
    Short, bright and warm are the Summers. Oymyakon is close to the polar circle which means dark Winters and bright Summers. Freezing temperatures prevail September - May. Summer is only two months, from approximately mid-June to mid-August. Temperatures can reach over 32 C/90 F. Nothern Siberia has only two seasons in the normal sense: Winter and Summer. Within a few weeks, full Winter passes into full Summer and vice versa. The short Summer is sufficient to allow abundant vegetation and fauna.

    I've felt -30s F in my life, stretches of constant subzero temperatures, but this is insane. I would love to visit this place for a month to get a slightly adapted viewpoint of this climate, but I wouldn't live there. Not because of the extreme temperature itself, but how uncooperative everything becomes in it. I also absolutely can't stand that hard snow crunch that sounds you're walking on Rice Krispies. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

      Yakutsk is a surprisingly rich city, but at the same time very strange, where modernity (eg. expensive Japanese and Korean cars) meets the Soviet past. There are a lot of garbage on the streets and courtyards, and in the summer a lot of mosquitoes. But people are very friendly, as opposed to the big cities of the European part of Russia.

    • @aqu32
      @aqu32 8 лет назад +2

      The difference is that they treat their animals with respect and allow them to live pretty much normally. They also know that they need to keep the balance, because they are completely dependent on these animals.
      PETA is against dressing skins in Western civilization because animals reared for our companies to profit from the trade of skins live like in concentration camps. Life of these animals is a never-ending drudgery.
