Journey from Yakutsk, The Coldest City in The World, to Lena Pillars

The next episode of the journey around Far East of Russia in 2021 is devoted to Yakutsk, the coldest city in the world, and Lena Pillars - one of the greatest landmark of the Yakutia, which is also known to be the largest country subdivision with the square of 3083523 km² (1190555 mi²). Everything seems to be "the most" in this remote part of Russia. The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has dozens of incredible landmarks, and one of the most recognizable place of interest is Lena Pillars - rock formation on the bank of the Lena River. Having explored Yakutsk, I hitchhiked all the way to Lena Pillars, using boats at some stretches. Enjoy!

    I'm Dutch, most villages here are within 5 km of another village. And in between will be farms. Paved roads everywhere. I would love to experience the vast emptiness of Russia. Like the people you got a lift from, switched from car to boat and then had to travel 200 km to their settlement. 200 km is two thirds of my country, I just can not imagine 200 km of pristine nature.

    The Danube and Rhine Delta system aren't too bad in my opinion but I must admit the Lena is just wonderful. Especially the Delta, I would love to somehow be able to see it, however I fear there is no way that will ever happen. Maybe in a warm summer via the arctic ocean or a long drive in an arctic 4x4, the remoteness is extreme anyhow

    Wow, those pillars in the red evening sunlight reflecting in Lena river! Amazing! Wonder if you actually planned to spend a night at the pillars? Lena river is fucking huge. Just a few days ago I watched a video of Kaspersky going from Madagan to Yakutsk (and onwards) and they crossed the river on an ice road. Scary! But at -40 Celsius it's rock solid. Crazy to think that Yakutsk is a growing city when they have the coldest winters of pretty much anywhere in the world and only few months of summer.

    Where I live, in the very south of Europe and the middle of the Mediterranean, the distance between islands is smaller than the width of the Lena. It being the most densely populated EU country (only Vatican City and Monaco are more densely populated European countries, and those are fringe cases anyway), it is an unimaginable contrast with the vast emptiness of Siberia. The impression I get from videos like these is that Russians are friendly and hospitable, even though relations between respective governments are more than a little frosty at the moment.
