"Only -40 degrees? It's time to hit the town!"
Man you folks are tough. You have my admiration and respect
no, not tough. dumb. why the fuck are there people ? :D :D who wnats to live in -40/-60 ?
Minus 20 degrees means summertime and going for a good old beachparty !🥳
Well, it doesn't feel as extreme when you grow up with it. I got to help build schools in Africa one summer, which was winter for them, and all of the locals were bundled up in coats and hats even though it was 80F. Brrrr... But even for people growing up in Siberia, I'm sure -40 and colder still feels dang cold lol.
human adapts to climate in 7 days ,
humidity also plays a big role... -60c there might be same as -30c in some oither parts of the world
@@Microphunktv-jb3kj Absolutely true - humidity makes a huge difference. 0C in UK feels much colder to me than -20C in NE USA
I live in Boston, USA and once got to -19F (-28C) with a windchill and I thought I would die on my 20 min walk home. Hats off to you folks, truly in awe. 😊
And we’re at -35f in Chicago 🥶
A few years back, I went to visit my wife's family in Ontario, in the winter, far north of Toronto. It was -40F. I never truly knew what cold was until then. On a warmer day of -20, we went for a little hike in the woods. My wife's cousin would intermittently remove her gloves to take pictures and I thought she was insane. I've also experienced 115F and I think I'd take the -40 over that. Haha
@@mansquito2488 Wow, yeah I always say you can add more layers but you can only take so much off! Also 115F can feel so different too depending on humidity! I was visiting Texas once and it was 108 and dry heat midday and it wasn’t great but felt less bad than some 95F days I’ve experienced with high humidity in Boston. But heat gets exponentially worse, so the difference in feeling between 108 and 115 is more than 90 and 95!
@@alfredoarroyo6604 Stay safe and good luck! We had a deep freeze last year but still only hit -20 overnight. Was enough to beat our heat pump though, our downstairs was 42 degrees at 8am with heat on full blast! We had just been told we could no longer use our old furnace safely like a few days before... Amazed the basement pipes didn’t freeze, but our first floor toilet pipe did, lmao!
I'm from Boston too and always complain about the cold every winter. I would not be able to do it there 😂
As a longtime resident of Mars where temperatures can drop to -100C, I completely relate to the Yakutian life. We Martians are also trying to enjoy ourselves on weekends and love to go shopping with friends.
That's the spirit.
In Chinatown of course.
That windchill though 💨
Wasn't -273.15 °C the absolute zero? Meaning u can't go under that?!
Don't forget your Thinsulate gloves! :)
I live in the tropics, Nigeria, and find it hard to actually imagine what living in that part of the world will be like. I marvel at the ingenuity to live and thrive in such climes. And the people actually do radiate warmth! Thank you for sharing
I live in rural northern Canada where it gets to temps like this and its really hard... my entire life I've dreamt of moving somewhere i can finally escape this cold 😂 but it seems like I'm an outlier in this because the people around me don't mind it at all
@@hayleybarbara1589you will eventually friend 😊
@@hayleybarbara1589haha 😂 I'm from Buryatia Republic, Eastern Siberia, the neighbor from the Republic of Sakha Yakutia. And I I've dreamed of moving out too, so far managed escapeing to Moscow 😅
I would probably rather live in Siberia than in the tropics. The neverending heat and humidity would make me go insane.
@m.m.2hard question both are bad 341
There is so much about the world we don’t know about.
I had no idea of what Siberian people looked like and how they were living. So different from France where I live. Wow.
Thank God for the internet and how it allows us to have a glimpse of the daily life and daily challenges of people from across the globe. Fascinating.
Not everywhere in Siberia it is so extreme. Siberia territory is quite vast.
@@crazymelomanka Yes, of course. I’m not saying I saw all of Siberia through this video, simply that I saw what life was like somewhere in Siberia.
@@qzmpwxnobooks don't show videos like this! Though. I think RUclips does a much better job at giving you an idea of what things are like for what they are! Books at most will give you pictures. You're on RUclips 🙄
@@qzmpwxnowhy not use youtube and books?
@@qzmpwxno
Part of the problem with learning about the world is discernment through biases of people and how one person's experience has been might not be the same as someone else (and biases can be applied just as much in books as well as in a RUclips video, because it's part of the human experience to develop biases for things). The best way someone can experience their own outlook on a country is visiting it themselves (and/or in some cases, living there for a while) while keeping other people's biases/experiences in the back of their mind.
I lived 4 years in Kazakhstan where it goes to -40 and yes, I understand why people say how beautiful it is. The air is clear, the stars at night are amazing. crystals growing on the trees. Its a really deep life experience of nature.
Thank you for your wonderful video - it was inspiring !
Wow that's a dream life for me
How carbon dioxide from car’s fume?
I went for Christmas shopping in Spokane Washington when no wind for a week.
I got headaches outside due everywhere smell gas.
After a week wind came and rain melt all about 1” icy road the city much best air quality.
My head felt much better as normal in winter.
Its a beautiful place - hope you can get there some day :)@@shubam.bhagat.
thank you 😊
Yakutsk girls are pretty too
I loved watching your video! Hello from Ufa, another part of Russia where it doesn’t get this cold and we also admire you, just like foreigners in the comments from other parts of the world. I like it that the young can speak the native language. This isn’t common in my region here. Please preserve your culture and language. I hope I can visit Sakha one day. ❤
Якуты очень устойчивы к холоду. Когда я был студентом в Сибири, то однажды вечером, когда температура была -42°C/-43.6°F (это в тех местах случалось очень редко) один наш студент-якут в одной лёгкой рубашке вышел наружу. Мы устроили танцы на первом этаже студенческого общежития, и внутри было довольно жарко с нашим отоплением и толпой танцующих. Ну, мы подумали что наш друг выйдет на несколько секунд чтобы остыть. Через пару минут мы забеспокоились, выглянули наружу но его нигде не было. Мы побежали наверх в наши комнаты за тёплой одеждой, потом долго искали его около общежития, потом подумали что он наверное уже незаметно вернулся пока мы бегали искали его по окрестностям. Он таки пришёл сам минут через 40 после выхода на мороз. Сказал что гулял по университетскому парку, ему стало холодно и поэтому он вернулся :) Абсолютно никаких последствий. Большинство землян просто замёрзли бы насмерть или по крайней мере получили бы обморожения или воспаление лёгких.
Wonderful story thank you!
я бы в это не поверил если бы не видел это сам! у нас один работник из Якутии, так он в минус -35 без перчаток закручивал шурупы и делал мелкую работу по электрике на улице. Мы стояли рядом и офигевали с того что руки у этого человека через час работы были ТЁПЛЫЕ и по нему не было видно никакого дискомфорта!
@@alucard0712 Да уж, у них особая морозоустойчивая генетика как ни крути. Мне один парень с Камчатки также рассказывал про то как его самолёт садился в Якутии для дозаправки, обычно пассажиров во время этого действа просят пройти в аэропорт, но была такая холодрыга (около -40) что пассажирам разрешили не выходить из самолёта. Они сидели и смотрели в иллюминаторы как рядом со взлётной полосой местные ребятишки в одних футболках и рубашках играли в футбол :)
Я саха (якутка) и мне сложно поверить в ваши истории 😂 конечно, -40 это тепло после почти -60, но все равно холодно! 😁
@@tatia6596 Я бы и сам не поверил если бы своими глазами не видел. Хотя конечно я за ним следом не ходил. В принципе возможно что он нас разыграл, рядом было другое студенческое общежитие, возможно что он просто там побывал а не гулял по парку... однако ни до ни после за ним склонности к розыгрышам замечено не было... не знаю теперь можно ли доверять якутам? 😂
Yakutsk seems to be a huge city! National Geographic shows it as if it was just a couple wooden cabins broken in a frozen wasteland, instead of the modern 380k habitants full fledged city it actually is. I will go there someday.... Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Nasty Geographic is about misinformation, not science or reality
😂well city isn't huge, really. But it's not couple wooden cabins in a frozen wasteland, too, haha. Some of the villages can be described as much, though. Greetings from Yakutia!
You are thinking of Oymyakon, it’s a small village (500 people) in the same region, but it’s even colder than Yakutsk.
In Yakutsk during January it will typically go down to -39.8C while in Oymyakon it goes down to -49.3C. The record cold in Yakutsk was -64.4C while in Oymyakon was -67.7C.
In comparison the largest research station in Antarctica, McMurdo Station, only had a record cold of −50.6C and typically is −29.5C in August (winter).
However still quite a ways warmer than Vostok station which has a record cold of −89.2C, and typically goes down to −71.5C in August (winter).
😬 🥶
Thank you for this video, watching people surviving and enjoying their lives under extreme conditions. Life is the pursuit of happiness, no matter where you live. I'm almost always amazed by these videos that you have done. Life is short, enjoy it while you have it. Love and peace to all. ❤
I´m from Yakutsk and I´m so happy to watch such a cute video about my hometown from very far. Thanks a lot and keep up a great work! 😊
Do you guys adapt to such temperatures, how are such temperatures do you struggle to breath or stay outside? Definitely you guys are way more adapted than people un tropical countries where 15 Celsius is freezing cold. How is it?
@@scientist_32484i would say we do adapt, for me it's much harder to breathe outside when it's lower than -40°C. we also use our scarfs or cover our faces with our hands (in knitted gloves, of course) to prevent it from frostbites and to ease our ability to breathe.
yes, living in such conditions is challenging but most of us are simply get used to our long and cold ahh winters 😊😅
@imtruelina9649 thanks for the reply. You guys actually rock. Definitely, living in such a place isn't easy, coming from a person who never experienced anything below 6°C,which is probably summer time to you 😂 yet I adore the cold weather wish that I can experience the negative temperatures one day. 😂
@ritafedorova5857 Your hometown looks really nice! (I usually would have said "cool", but that would be a dad joke)
@@scientist_32484 6°C is not like a "summer time for them", Yakutsk have real summer, in July temperatures can reach up to 40°C

@@earlycuyler4019Hey. . . I'm not complaining 😉
@@tallbeanerboi6915 who is?
I know there's “someone” out there in flip-flops and shorts.
They definitely lost a few toes then.
Here in the UK its just had a cold snap of between -5 to -10 and the country nearly came to a stop, Hats off to you
In London, whenever the temperature drops below 0°C, the Emergency Severe Weather Plan is activated by the Mayor.... 😆
You guys are built from much tougher stuff, serious respect!
We had "brutal" temperatures of -5C, snow bombs, Arctic blasts. Yakutia, other parts of Russia, Lapland, Canada must laugh at UK press!
You guys really compare apples with oranges. There is a reason why setrlements with these temperatures are not very populous and there is not many of them. Comparing multi milion city, one of the most infuential on the globe in recent history with 300k city is a stupid
Its a common mistake people compare deep east winter temperatures with west or closer to equator direction countries in winter. Its not same. The key is humidity. Up north there is a lot less humidity and -60c doesnt feel like burning your skin off compared to winter in example Finland, UK, Estonia ect where humidity is much higher in winter. In those countries -30c or lower is worse than -60 in Yakutsk Siberia because dry cold weather is actually not that bad.
@@supremeboy No, it's very bad. -30C dry is instant stinging cold. Exposing the skin of ones hands for more than a few seconds is painful. Any windchill will make freezing quicker.
I live in eastern Norway, and it's currently -24°C outside. Not nearly as cold as in Yakutsk, but it's cold enough. I like to walk in the forest here on my snow shoes. I look for animal tracks and if I'm lucky I'll see some animals too. It's a magical landscape here in winter, and so incredibly quiet.
In the center of Russia it is now -20. Be careful in the forest! You probably have wild animals!?
@@user-ry8rt8io6ponly in the bigger forests here are wild animals.
@@user-ry8rt8io6p Yes, it is the same temperature here now as well. The only animal that is dangerous is the moose, but thankfully they're more scared of me. I am careful not to risk surprising them. I have met a wolf, but they're as shy as the moose.
And may I wish you a merry Christmas!
Looking at the map, I thought there is only southetn Norway and northern Norway. Where did you put the eastern Norway? Into Sweden? 😅
@@ayrat7410 Well, close enough so that I go to Sweden once a month to buy cheaper food 😆 The part I live in is called Østlandet, which literally means the eastern land. It's woodland and where the Russian Taiga actually ends. Western Norway would be where the fjords are. Northern Norway is so narrow it makes no sense to differentiate between east and west 😂
Very interesting! Я живу в Японии. Выходные - я иду на кино, кафе, магазин, и изучаю по-русски! Я хочу поехать в Якутск. 😊
Якуты не любят русских. Поэтому вас будет там комфортно.
"mother nature doesn't have bad weather" is so cute to hear and so true! i actually prefer "bad" weather over sunny days most if the time because they make me feel cozy like they said ❤
У нас в центральной России сейчас -30, и чет уже никуда не хочется. До магазина максимум 😂 Ребят, вы там большие молодцы)
От видео повеяло свежестью!
У нас влажность сильно больше, при -60 здесь была бы совсем смэрць
При -20 уже норм гулять)
Всё зависит ещё от влажности. При таких параметрах минусовая температура ощущается по разному.
В Питере в 1987 году было до -40 гр. Отмороженных носов было много, у меня тоже было обморожение носа. У нас -25 уже люди закрывают лицо рукой, а тут гуляют в -40. Влажность все таки играет роль.
I'm from eastern Finland and it got down to -40c a few weeks ago and for anyone who hasn't experienced it seeing people saying it's "not too bad" is mind boggling to me 😬 Love your videos and would love to visit your beautiful country one day. Stay warm! 😊
finns are dirty people
-30 or -40c might be same as -60c in yakutia.. humidity plays a big role, not only the number...
and these people are used to it... just like finns and estonians probably tolerate cold better overall.... than heatwaves of 30+ ...
i have no problem with cold (if its not storm, windy.. calm winter weahter..) .. i do feel like with +26-34 heatwave.. that my brain doesnt work and im feinting from heat and just dont tolerate that heat....
still -60 still supercrazy probably ... the thing is in estonia and finland peopel are quiet stupid :D they never dress properly.... . for the weather....
can imagine how warm it is with that fur hat and those fur winter boots of theirs.... :D
i literally use same clothes +20 to -15c lol.... :D ... also i always wondered if other people feel temps differently than me....
as im superskinny... underweight, 58kg 190cm.. ;DD that if im always colder than other people haha....
but i guess according to science skinny people regulate their body temperature actually better than fat people... wich was surprise to me....
@@Microphunktv-jb3kj yes yes we can tolerate wery cold weather and wind at the same time its normal :D in finland we have SISU! sisu means not giving up and have tough mind :P
This is unpleasant, but such a temperature can be tolerated. In Moscow in December 1978 - January 1979 it was 42-45 degrees with high humidity and strong winds. However, this temperature is rare, usually no more than 30-35 degrees.
@@paceeterna9826average Moscow winter is around -10C to +5 , please 😂
For us folks living in Canada, even we are shaken when the temp drops below -35. Props to you guys
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video about the most resilient and hard working people of Yakutsk, Siberia, Russia.
These types of extreme landscapes fascinate me, but I don’t think I could handle this weather, not even for visiting. Much respect for the people in this town!
I'm from the Philippines.. as a tropical country, the lowest temperature we could get is around 10°C but only in the higher mountainous areas. Still then we still feel cozy with our families during nights with cold breeze of wind through our windows while eating and sharing lots of things with each other. 🥰
Greetings from the Pearl of the Orient Seas.. The Philippines! 🇵🇭
🙄🙄🙄

Thanks for sharing with us 🧡
10°C in Finland is the average Spring/Autumn weather, which is usually between like 5°C to 15°C. Now it's winter and it's -20°C freezing temperature in my region, but next to the sea with winds, it's closer to -30°C. Usually our "hot season" is around +18 to 25°C
Lucky you, living in such beautiful place as Philippines must be amazing. I visited Bali and Indonesia and fell in love with climate, weather, ocean and society because ppl seem really nice and easy going, very different than in other places. I'm from Poland and we have mildly harsh winters, but for a half of the year is rather cold and dark. And people are so grumpy and annoying often XD

Мы живём в Москве, где то при - 25 дети не мучаться в школах уже. В этом году было - 30 , был коллапс по региону. Теплотрассы не выдержали. Много город Московской области сидели без отопления, также такое же было в Москве. Якуты, вы молодцы❤. Настоящий пример по-настоящему русских людей - сильных и способных выдержать такие экстримальные холода
"I think Mother Nature doesn't have bad weather"
It's the second time I heard this today, earlier someone told me that there's no bad weather, just inadequate clothes. I think it's a beautiful way to see it.
Edit: people like to complain a lot. If you don't agree with this just get over it, it's just a saying that I think it helps when it's cold af outside.
if u had no clothes u would die so humans arent meant to live there
"there's no bad weather, just inadequate clothes" is a very popular norwegian saying, which makes sence, since the country also gets quite cold in the winter!
In The summer i don't need to wear clothes here in italy
@@fave525 I’m in Germany, and at this time of the year it makes a lot of sense too! I love winter here, if you make sure you’re dressed warmly there’s a lot to enjoy outside :)
And I think my family member heard that saying from a Norwegian friend, so it might be the same one haha
@@fave525It’s also popular in germany! „Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur schlechte Kleidung“
As a former Fargo resident, this was too relatable 😪. The phone dying, slathering my face with aloe every night because of the windburn, “dancing” at the bus stop, risking frostbite every time you need to use your hands, we have so much in common haha. Worst I ever experienced was -60F… I can’t imagine more!

I feel like living in such harsh environments makes you truly appreciate the small things in life.
I am an Indian living in the southern part of India, We never faced - deg C temperature, its always +30 deg C, Recently I have visited Few villages in Indo Tibet border, where I stayed with -22 deg C. Realized that Daily routine there was very tough. Now After watching this video, I could imagine, how hard it will be for yakutsk people. Kudos
But the indo -tibet is being deprived of any development whereas here in yakutsk it might drop to -60 but you can clearly see in this video that it's not like those very poor village at indo/tibet or even villagers who lives in the mountains of Himalayas where there is no road connectivity at all and they works really hard to survive even for a day.
@@keneisolozzz7686you are very wrong here are you guys enjoy 5g connectivity in your yakutiks but here in India every corner of country has 5g connection for free we don't carry cash weather its mumbai or Himalayas you shocked to see the development of India 😅😅😅, but you guys were stereotyped with Western and your media's about India but ground reality will rip off your pants and you will in shock , as you guys are not living challening terrains like Himalayan people did

Sri Lanka is always 25 to 30
I am in England 🇬🇧. It is often wet and cold ☔️. Currently flooding in places. We feel it is cold but after watching your video I realise it’s not cold at all!!!! I love this video - very educational
The thing is that the UK is really damp most of the time and often very windy and that really gets to your bones. I have been living here for the past 10 years, but grew up in Poland where we had -15 to -20 with snow , but it often was dry and sunny so it was a much more pleasant experience. I'll take Polish winter over British rainy days anytime.
I live in Los Angeles, California. When I visited London, I remember how cold it was there, It felt like I stepped into a freezer when I would go outside.
Cold is not cold. I'll take -20 in Norway over the cold, clammy British winter anyday. And the British houses! It's like insulation and mold prevention is a foreign language.
Cold is combination a wind, temperatures and wet
"Я люблю нашу зиму, потому что она чёткая, конкретная" - хорошо сказала )))
I was in Yakutsk for a week in January 2006 in frosty temperatures of 55-57. In such frosts, Yakutsk is covered with a cloud of man-made fog from operating boiler houses, so dense that visibility is no more than 3-5 meters. The season for snatching hats from passers-by is opening in the city - you can run away and get lost in the fog. One day it became warm - only 38 degrees. Visibility improved to 100 meters. In the video the temperature is 30 degrees.
Hello, I am from Czech republic and this year, winter came back after all these warm winters of past 20 years. It is only to -20 degrees and we cry here, that it is unbearable. Yours -40 is absolutely mindbreaking. It was beautiful watching kinda normal life of your city in these harsh conditions. Take care guys, wherever you are right now.
"Hello, I am from Czech republic and this year, winter came back after all these warm winters of past 20 years."
That seems to be the same story here in the United States. (Nebraska)
In western Canada it's horrid, -50c right now
It's really uplifting because it shows that they're not letting the freezing temperatures keep them from living.
I'm in southern Poland and the -20 actually made me smile because it's been so long since the last proper winter here :D My protip is: boots, thermal underwear, like leggins and undershirts, and (necessarily!) a face mask or a scarf over the face. Good luck next time (but the following weeks are supposed to be not-as-extreme, so I guess we're ok :)).
@@Lunathiel_ What about heated vests under the coat?
Здравствуйте, я из Латвии, типичная самая низкая температура здесь этой зимой -10...-20 градусов. Если нет ветра и нет влажного воздуха - все переносится очень хорошо. В свободное время - катаюсь на лыжах в лесу и хожу на рыбалку. Желаю всем мира в 2024 году!
What a beautiful and inspiring video. Thank you for showing us how is life in Siberia. I live in the US and I have family on Mexico, when we go to visit them the weather is extremely hot but we are used to it, like you said locals always find a way to enjoy their town! ❤
Funny, how some residents speak Russian (since Yakutia is a part of Russian Federation) and some speak local yakutian language. Both languages are used as state languages in Yakutia. Thank you for your video! I live in Saint Petersburg and usually our winters are "european" and warm, at least mild. But this year we had really cold days, down to -30° C.
All the blessings on you, I was dying to know what's the language being spoke. Taking from a latin-american, it's incredibly comfortable to hear that
Yakutian seems an Altaic language. I could actually understand half of what she says (Anatolian Turk)
@@WhatIsThisForAgain It is a Turkic language. Sakha/Yakuts are a Turkic people
Turkic is language group, not ethnic or race. You can see how different people from Turkey and Yakutia looks :) @@MrGTAWalkthrough
@@tiwiarros1824 That's half true. Turkic people are diverse now, but they can be traced back to common ancestors from the Xiongu state 2200 years ago. Turkic Kazkahs are also Turkic and more similar to Yakuts. I am Turkish and my DNA test even says I have a small amount common with Yakut people.
What is truly amazing for me is how well her house is heated as with -60 outside she is inside in a tank top. British homes are dump, freezing and mouldy with temp around +10 because of how badly they are insulated.

Yeah I live in the US (Michigan) and I can't wear a tank top even indoors in the winter. Maybe for a few minutes until I get freezing cold again. Houses here don't have good insulation or good heating either. If you drive in the car, it will heat up after about 30 minutes to a decent temperature where you stop seeing your breath.
Of course it does to get nearly as cold here as it does there. It's the end of December now and it's been in the 20-30 degree Fahrenheit range most days this month.
Actually all Russian houses are heated too much sometimes, I even open my windows in winter because it’s too hot😂😂😂
You assume her home is heated well. It might be 40°F in her home, but because everywhere outside is so bitterly cold, that feels warm enough for her to wear a tank top!
Speak for your own dump. My house is perfectly warm.
I live in the Philippines all my life, and the coldest temperature I've experienced is around +16°C. Our average daily temperatures are around +32°C with the sun shining. I can't even imagine how extremely cold −64°C is like!
Yakutian people are very very tough and resilient! Wish I could visit and experience winters in your city someday.

I'm Form Valencia Spania at summer time it can be 40+ C but in the winter is rarely reaching +5C all winter is about +8C to +17C !! and I can't imagine people can live in temperature like _ 15 C so more respect for this people' ❤
Yo soy de Madrid, y aquí hemos tenido noches en, en algunos inviernos, que era para echarlas de comer a parte. Y era una miseria de -6°C. No me imagino siquiera como deben de ser -58°C. La descojonacion de espronceda. Como pasase un día aquí la palmamos la mitad.
Interestingly in the summer Yakutsk also has +35°C or more.
I'm Thai people. We live in near tropical point zone southeast asia. My Dream is travel to coldest city Yakutsk, seeing life people , play snowball 😂 , and making ice cream easily different thailand😂
❤ Love Yakutsk and many thing etc ❤❤❤❤
Actually in such regions as Yakutia it's difficult to make snowballs, because the snow is powdery and not stiky most time of the winter time, to play snowballs it's better for you to visit somewhere near Moscow. Welcome to Russia)
Thank you for suggestion me..❤❤❤
My normal New Zealand winter is wet and unpredictable. This year I am in Japan and the winter is very dry. It is the first time I have experienced such a dry cold. I can see that both are beautiful for nature, but I am really enjoying being able to dry my clothes and see the sun this winter!
Thanks for your video, I really enjoyed it, and I wish more positivity towards the internet in general. Be kind to yourself!

I’m from Minnesota where it can get -40 F or less degrees, although that doesn’t happen every year. It’s been-65 F with windchill. Honestly, you just have to embrace the cold as part of your identity, or you’d go insane. The capital city celebrates a mythic battle every January between the King of the North Winds and the Vulcan King, representing summer. The tradition started when the New York Times belittled the city as “another frozen Siberia, unfit for human life”, so the city just leaned into that reputation and has been celebrating with a whole crew of mythical characters during the winter carnival for 138 years.
😱😱I will never complain about 0C temperature again! Thank you sooo much! This videos has inspired me to not let the weather stop me from enjoying life or feel miserable about doing chores outside. Just gotta dress properly and keep moving ✨👌🏼💜 Got it!
0C and humid is worse than -10C and dry :)
@@arosnett do you know that a relative humidity is? When air cools down all the extra water is released as dew, so humidity in cold regions around the world is almost always around 70-100%.
Humidity's factor is significant only in relatively hot weathers.
Hello from Denmark 🇩🇰👋 OMG 😳 People have a lot of courage to live in this intense coldness but I can see that they all like living there and despite the freezing weather people seems happy. Here in Denmark it’s rare for the temperature in winter to drop below -10 degrees and when this happens, there is a general panic 😄
Был в январе 2006 года в Якутске неделю при морозе - 55-57. При таких морозах Якутск накрывает облако техногенного тумана от работающих котельных, настолько плотного, что видимость не более 3-5 метров. В городе открывается сезон срывания шапок с прохожих - в тумане можно убежать и потеряться. В один из дней стало тепло - всего - 38 градусов. Видимость улучшилась до 100 метров. На видео - температура - 30 градусов.
Живу тут, туман обычно рассеивается при -37. При -38 до -42 видимость где-то 20-50 метров. Если холоднее, то уже становится сложно ориентироваться

It is so beautiful to see people continuing to enjoy their days in such extreme conditions compared to where I live. It really shows how it’s possible to create joy and magic everywhere. Your winter gear is also visually beautiful! I never look that fashionable once it gets below 20F (-6C)
Yesssssss❤ some people have such a narrow definition of what they can enjoy. Just make lemonade out of lemons is what I say ❤
Having too much comfort and convenience can easily make people spoilt and therefore not actually very happy IMO. We need to feel discomfort for the comfort to have any meaning / perspective. We need to work for rest to mean anything. These people living here are very lucky I'd say, I bet they appreciate the little things in a way many of us could not 😊
I'd look like an astronaut if temp rises to those levels
Your quiet life looks quite appealing, looking in from a life with so much noise. Thank you for sharing!
The lady on the street talking about traveling and not wanting to move despite the cold weather summed up exactly how most lifelong (“generational” lol) residents of Cleveland feel, despite how much our city is made fun of. Well done, ma’am 😊❤👍
Also, my gas bill alone would *FAR* exceed $700 per month (the monthly living expense figure she provides in the video) if i lived in that environment/climate. That’s crazy it’s so low there.
I have immense respect for your people and love for your country despite the challenges. I would love to visit Yakutsk someday.
Love from USA ❤
Likewise. I'm from Minnesota where it gets cold but not _that_ cold. I'd like to experience Yakutsk just to know those temps first hand.
With love from Oklahoma. I too would love to visit Yakutsk someday. The people there seem very nice and friendly.

OMG as a person who live in a tropical climate, it's crazy to think that a person could live in such a crazy temperature. I thought a bad winter would be around -20 C, seems I was wrong. Salute to people who can endure such weather, from a person who could already catch cold in 18 C 😊
Your diet and how you treat your body and mental state is why you get sick. Not the temperature outside
It is crazy to live in a cold climate, nature and human biology say it's not normal to live in a climate requiring clothes for heat.
Id rather die than have to live in somewhere tropical. I salute the people who can handle all that awful heat and humidity.
@@dominic6055Id prefer having to wear winter gear yearround
@@chanelegray6993согласна. Я предпочту -30, чем +30. Очень плохо переношу жару. Кожу с себя не снимешь, а утеплиться всегда можно. А если у тебя есть баня, то вообще пофиг, какая погода.
Eventhough the cold is very scary for someone like me, it still seems like a cozy place. If you are used to nothing else like that cold, it's really not as bad. This is the best video I've seen of Yakutsk and I have just discovered your channel. You have earned yourself a new subscriber :)
My home town is Harbin, the lowest temp I can remember is -32C. The structure of the building and windows are dramatically different compared to the south. We enjoyed the wintertime with various sports, snow, and ice festivals.
The lowest temp I experienced in Canada was -50C.......when I travelled across Canada during school break...... I could not start my vehicle without plugging in the block heater...... HUGE respect for people who love their homeland and enjoy whatever weather they have.
Thank you for all the videos! Love your channel! Cheers!
I grew up in the Northeastern US, where we got cold winters but nothing that cold! Still got used to negative temperatures though. Then I moved to the Southeastern US, where it rarely gets below freezing but summers are up near 100 with extreme humidity - and I can say that the body adapts remarkably. My first year down here the heat was unbearable, and now I can easily tolerate being outside all day in the summer, and I don't handle the cold as well as I used to. It is truly incredible the range of temperatures at which humans can learn to live and thrive! (And knowing how to dress is most of the key!)
I'm in MA
I've been in Texas since 1980 and i still haven't adjusted to the summers. lol

I live in Botswana Africa where it's all about trying to keep cool in our hot summers of 38 to 42 degrees Celsius. The sun is harsh and we struggle to grow vegetables too! Water is precious and we often experience droughts. Human beings are amazingly adaptive! We all want the same things, though.... Love, family and friends.
This is so wonderful ♥ I didn't even know Yakutsk existed, let alone how cold it was. It feels like a gift to be able to glimpse what life is like in such a far away and different place. Thank you for creating and sharing this 🙏
I was born and grew up in Yakutsk until I was about 8 years old. This was in the 80's, so I didn't have much exposure to anything else, even on TV - to me it all seemed normal. Shortly after I turned 8 I moved to Moldova, then England, then San Francisco within the span of about 7 years and what a quickly-increasing shock to the system that was in terms of weather/climate.
I was thinking about what this kind of experience must have been like. Do you recall how it felt when you first arrived in San Francisco? I can only imagine!
I'm from California. What was it like moving to such a warm place like how did you handle the summer!?
And quality of life I imagine

The best bus stop I ve ever seen.
I am from Istanbul. When I heard the language, it somehow sound familiar. Melody of the language and some words were really familiar. This is lovely!
When I first heard of Yakutsk, I was 9. By that time, there were no internet. I opened an encyclopedia and read a lot about Yakutsk. Then opened a map and tried to imagine life over there. Now, everywhere is so close. You can watch daily life easily. This video is so warm even though Yakutsk is cold. Thanks for the content.
Hugs from Turkey.
We have lots of similar words with Turkish language!

Amazing video, thank u for sharing such interesting material about this unique place. Yakutsk is definitely a must on my bucket list! /much love from Stockholm Sweden (and I thought we were freezing lol)
I'm a Texan. We have the opposite issue. Our summers have gotten up to 110°F (43°C). I've literally fried eggs and baked cookies using the sunlight before. I'd take that over the cold. But I've always wanted to visit Siberia since watching a documentary on the Mansi as a kid, so we'll see how that goes lol.
Summer in Yakutsk (as well as in the other regions in Siberia) can be also very hot, it was +35 C this summer. So you can come in summer or in fall, it is sooo beautiful, everything turns red orange and yellow🤗
We have been hitting 40s in Canada during summer. Forest fires have increased with our hot weather.
Texas seems cold to me...I'm from Australia
Wish I lived in texas now lol, live near you and raid your cookie supply :D

I am from Holland. Unfortunately the real winters here have disappeared ,due to climate change! I liked your video! Greetings....😊
Oh, Yakutsk... I was there in the summer of 2000, and yes, it is interesting with its own peculiarities and beauty. On top of what you said, I want to add much more:
- The Lena river that pass very close to city and it is very big there. Frozen in winter, thaw from springs so prone to floods, but many buildings in city and around are above ground on pillars.
- Water pipes/system adapted to weather ...
- The fact that it is almost on polar circle so in summer day is very long (20h+) and night very short (~2h) with very beautiful sunsets, when sometimes all cloud in the sky turn red. (In winter days are very short and nigths very long.)
- The permafrost at 5-10 m underground so you can have a nice frige with about a constant temp of -5°C, by just dig a cellar.
- Insects in summer !!!! I count at least 5 species of mosquito, a big horsefly, several kinds of dragonflies and moore...
- Forests (unfortunately lately tend to forest fires in summers :( , otherwise very nice to see).
Thank you so much for this video. I am from Sri Lanka. We never have winter as SL is a trpoical country. We usually get somewhat cold in December and January than the other months in the year but never like this. We never have snow. Nature is something we cannot understand 😮❤
Your vlog is very well made. Enjoyed it very much. Tough people to live in such harsh climate. Keep up the great vlogs.
I remember -45c in Ottawa and I took water from inside to the backyard and threw it in the air. It came down as snow.
I really enjoy how you present and introduce the rest of the world to this surreal place. I wouldn't even have heard of Yakutsk - if it wasn't for your channel being recommended to me. Now, I regularly see your videos for the peaceful updates to such an exotic place. Keep it up - your work is truly excellent.
Try live in steps dry and cold and very speed air in -20 and -30 Celcium very comfortble wether choose air or water whats best ...
thank you so much!
My mother was born and raised in Yakutsk. I have never know a more tough and loving women. RIP

the coldest temperature i ever experienced was -20 in berlin,but long ago over 40 years now! from this experience i know below 20 its going hard with noses and breathing...but a dry cold like there is much more easy to take. 60 minus and our wet cold would be deadly!

I live in a place where 80 degrees F is not uncommon in the winter months. Our coldest winter days are in the mid to low 60’s(F). I can golf nearly everyday if I desire. Consequently, I have no clue what you all go through. I know my ability to cope in such weather is very low, not that I couldn’t do it, but my existence would be solely focused on survival, and I couldn’t imagine “fun” outside just because it warmed up to -40C one day. I have the utmost respect for you and all who find themselves surviving and thriving in the harshest climates on earth. God Bless you all.

The winter temperatures you endure seem otherworldly to someone from the southern US. It looks beautiful there and your videos prove how resilient humans can be. Thanks for sharing!
I love this so much. I live in NYC now but I come from a very cold part of Canada. I grew up loving winter and we played outside no matter if it was -35C. For me, winter meant fun! Fun skating, skiing, making snow forts and of course tobogganing. We bundled up in layers of warm clothes and enjoyed every moment. The adults had to force us to come home. As an adult, I love traveling back to Canada in the winter and still go walking even in the extreme cold. As they say in Norway, there’s no bad weather only bad clothing!
I read your article with great interest.
I love Canada.
Where in Canada did you grow up?
I wish i could love winter.. I grew up in northern Saskatchewan and i just hate it. It got to minus 60 with the windchill this month 🥲 if i never see snow again in my life i would be very happy.

You guys don’t even wrap your face with such a chilly weather … i will walk with a full face hood. When is very very cold and the city is cover with a meter of snow like a white blankets: people are way more calm, resilient and hearty. Driver are nicer on the roads, neighborhoods help each other to remove the snow on the sidewalk, etc… but once summer is here, people go wild. I notice how Sibérien people are noce in your interview which reminds me how people behaviour change with the climate.

Aslında "Yakutsk" sözcüğünün kökeni Türkçe "Yaka" kelimesidir ve bir tür değerli taş olan yakut kelimesi ile eş sesli olması tamamen tesadüftür.
@@Bronemorosi en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakuts
@@Bronemorosi Etymology
According to Kulakovskiĭ, the Russian word yakut was taken from Evenk екэ yekə̄, but the Russian word is actually a corruption from the Tungusic form. The Yakuts call themselves Sakha, or Urangai Sakha (Yakut: Уран Саха, Uran Sakha) in some old chronicles. All of these are derived from a word related to Turkish yaka (geographical edge, collar) referring to the Yakuts' remote position in Siberia.
