Hearing the crunch crunch crunch of the snow when you guys were on the platforms and at the end walking through the city brought back so many memories for me...I grew up in Novosibirsk and the winters there while not as harsh, were still Siberian winters haha. Didn't know how much I missed that sound! And whyyy did you guys not get a kupé on at least one of the train legs 😂 you would have gotten so much more sleep than in the platzcart!

I loved when the guy showed you the magic trick, seems like you met a whole bunch of interesting characters on the cafe car. Lovely!

Being an Indian ( scorching heat for at least 6 months in a year), I always wonder what it is to be in the coldest place on earth..lovely video..good luck to you both for taking me there :)

This was such a fun trip to watch. I may never experience this in my whole life but through ur video, I got to experience it and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a vast untouched scary yet stunning part of our world. Greetings from Pakistan 💚♥

20 years back, I took the train from Barnaul to Kazan with my Russian wife. We went "cabin class" and had a very comfortable sleeping cabin. My recollection of the toilet was less than pleasant - after a couple of hours it was awash!. I wanted to try travelling like a Russian kalhusnik and we took a small o/n trip, I think it was Izhevsk to Moscow and that was really different! Overall though, I enjoyed the experience and would do it all again.

I did this trip in January/February 1993 when I was a young traveller. My journey started in Singapore, through Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and China before travelling to Beijing from where I took a couple of local trains to Vladivostok where I picked up the Trans-Siberian to Moscow. I then took a train to Ostend, aferry to Ramsgate and a train up to London. Travelling in the winter wasn't too wise, particularly when changing trains as it was so cold hanging around on the platform or in unheated waiting rooms. The coldest temperature I experienced was -37c in Irkutsk. I had previously been naive enough to presume 'freezin' was about as low as it got. I was wrong.

I like to travel for several days by train in Russia, I miss these trips. Yakutia is certainly cool, all microbes are frozen in the air😆 Greetings from Novosibirsk👋

Thank you for dispelling any romantic notion about taking an extended train ride through Siberia in the dead of winter.

I recognize the sound of the snow in this video! Vanderhoof, BC. December, 1971, walking home from a Christmas party at -52 farenheit. The snow made the exact same squeaking noise. So funny it made us laugh. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Bad Idea to laugh, though. There's a huge danger of freezing your lungs if you pull air in too quickly at -52. Likely I can't get away with tellling the funniest part of the story, though. Stopping for a P in a snowbank. Instant, 2' long icicle! Driving off the next morning nearly shook our teeth out. The car's tires had frozen in an eliptical shape. NOT round any more, and every revolution of the wheels shook the car like a jackhammer.

Just see it this way; how is it possible that a single cell can turn into a full human (or animal) with complex tissues. What genes are turning on/off during development? By understanding these genes from a molecular level maybe one day we can generate full functional organs in-vitro and fundamentally understand the formation of organs from single cells. Interesting isn’t it? 🙂 (And don’t worry about vaccines, they do more good than harm. They can have side-effect depending on the medical condition of the patient, but the chances are very slim. After all, the point of a vaccine is to give the patient an inactivated virus that mimics the real one. But even the inactivated virus (particles) can sometimes heavily boost the immune system to point that the patient shows heavy reactions as if it received the real one (their body temperature increases due to their own hyperactive immune system). If the patient already has some medical conditions, their own hyperactive immunity can occasionally do them more harm than good. But in such case, the real virus will still do them more harm.

The worst was in Beijing in the late 90's. I literally had to pull my T-shirt over my nose to make it through the ordeal for a Number 1. Can't imagine if it had to be a Number 2.

We had an amazing experience in this Trans Siberian train . We booked in the 2nd class individual cabins ..and had a nice homely atmosphere. As Indians, We love traveling by train !!!

шикарное путешествие. всю русскую экзотику показали. удачи

Greetings from Scotland! It was lovely to accompany you in this journey from my cosy bed! 😅 There are many places in the world where I would only go safely in my dreams! Thank you for sharing your adventures! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks for this very nice video. I have watched so many Trans-Siberian videos in preparation for a trip from Moscow to Beijing, but then came the pandemic and then the war. But I am still dreaming of it. And yes, Yakutsk is on my bucket list too. Enjoy your time out in the cold.

Wow, I admire you two very much for making this fantastical journey! It is your patience, sense of adventure, and ability to embrace ambiguity that stands out to me. I'm looking forward to experiencing the coldest place on earth through your eyes.

I always fantasises about the Trans-Siberian adventure. It is going to cost a tones tracking from NZ. Thanks for taking us there. I honestly don’t think people can “survive” the journey without speaking Russian or 🥃drinking😂. Love and support from 🇳🇿NZ

This was a really outstanding video. I watched it twice, I enjoyed it so much. I will watch a third time, for sure. I have taken trains in Russia, both with my wife and TDY, but my last visit was long ago, in 2007. I was in Novasibirsk once for TDY. The temperature was -30. I visited Vector, in the science city. Another time I was in Tomsk. That was in the summer. The university that we were visiting gave me a T-shirt, which I still have.

In February, 1996, my wife and I saw we could get a cheap flight to San Francisco from Louisville. We took a shot at it and quickly learned why the flights were so cheap. We landed in Minnesota and the temp was 60 below zero. We had a 3 hour layover and took some time to exit through the doors just to see what it was like at that temp. All in all it was a great trip and my first visit to Point Reyes, CA. One of my favorite places. As to Yakutsk, It must be near the entrance to Beringia where humans first traveled as long as 30k years ago. Finally, crossing the land mass that existed at that time and entering North America some 16,500 years ago. So, when you think how difficult the circumstance were for Julia and Matt, just think about what life was like in those days. Hunter gatherers who had to sustain themselves every day or die. Another thing that struck me, the travelers who made the journey with Matt and Julia represented a melting pot of people. You could see on their faces, something different brought to the country from each. Very nice video. Thanks.

R O C R O C From Yakutsk to the Bering Strait is almost 3 thousand kilometers in a straight line ;-)) According to our Siberian ideas, this is, yes, almost close.

​@@Siberian_Bear72 - That would be about 1,800 miles in 20,000 years time. I presume those were hunter gatherers who entered the area and were blocked by glaciation that filled what is now the Bering Sea and much of Siberia until a pathway finally cleared into N. America. Where I live in NE, Ohio, my property was covered by a mile high glacier beginning 23,000 years ago. By 8,500 years the glacier was gone and left in part what became the Cuyahoga Valley. It was through that valley some Indians traveled and began to populate what is now our Southern states. Forebears to those Indians probably came through Yakutsk. And some of those may have come from China. Others came down the Western coast and ended up in South America. It is a small world:-)

Incredible! I loved your trip and your video. Your extraordinary trip left me filled with envy. May be one day I´ll take that same trip but ... preferable in first class and with a Vasco translator. Thank you both for sharing your great video.

Love these 2 and their adventures ! Fascinating videos 🤩

This is fascinating. I've been following a town on the Lena river called Ust Kut. There are dozens of live webcams all over the town and it's really interesting to see the change in the seasons.

I think you are both totally crazy doing this. Can't wait to see the videos of the city. See you both soon.

Our winter weather is like Jamaica compared to Yakutsk. I don't know if you are insane or extremely adventurous! You would have to be a hearty soul the live there year-round but it was an experience to remember. Matt and Julia, all the best!
