Life in the Coldest place on earth, the region of Yakutia (Republic of Sakha), Siberia, Russia, & the Worlds coldest city, Yakutsk. We traveled to Yakutsk in the middle of winter to find out how people here survive in the toughest climate in the world. Little did we know, we would manage to time it so perfect that we would actually arrive during the coldest day in the last 20 years (-63'C / '81.5'F).
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.
Join us, as we explore one of the coldest & unique places in Russia, during the coldest day in recent history!

... and yet, it's home for nearly 1,000 residents, who wait until Summer time with its 87degrees (I didn't find the degrees sign...🙄).
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 90-95% 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.

Interestingly, these cold continental climates, when they warm up in summer, are often plagued with swarms of flying insects such as black flies and mosquitos, which tend to drive the residents to their wits end. I guess the insects are more aggressive as they only have a short time during the year to reproduce.
The citizens who live there- amaze and inspire me- hardships most of us would say - enough. But so warm-hearted and thriving!!!

Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

I was in Alaska last month, saw the Arctic Circle and some other great places but one thing that fascinated me was the architecture and design of the pipeline and how the cold plays a big role but so do the moving plates. The idea that the pipeline has been built on stilts along with things to allow them to have wiggle room with the movement of the Earth’s surface is incredible; similar to stilts and pipes being built above ground.

Growing up in NDak this video brings me home. We had engine plug-in heaters, and every place had outside plugs. I foresee these returning with the advent of EVs. The wind in the Dakotas is constant and brutal, with windchill temps occasionally well below -70F. Climate change has had extremely noticeable impact, especially on what plants we can garden. You get used to the cold; hockey, skiing, ice fishing. It’s a good life, creating tough, resilient and self confident children and self reliant adults.
Bless these strong, hardy people.

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!

Such a very cold climate , personally I would find it hard to survive but I admire the Yakut people for their stamina and resilience xxx❤❤
We rarely get snow where I live up north 🇬🇧 My favourite weather is snow when we get it , rain & fog .. it genuinely recharges me . The summer & sun drain my energy .
Thank you guys so much for the beautiful and amazing video. I live in Maine in the United States and sometimes it gets and feels pretty darn cold up here but seeing something like this was completely amazing. Sure you just so easy we have it here. And what an awesome and beautiful culture that seems to be there. Again thanks so much for giving the rest of us a look. Safe travels and have a wonderful day.

No they shouldn't go viral with their bad info. If the building are up so to not melt the permafrost then there's no way it gets to 40 Celsius in the summer... one of these two things isn't true. Also their parroting clinate 💩 talking points was really annoying and made me loose brain cells.
I live in the Ural region, where the temperature can drop to -20°C -25°C or, rarely, to -35°C. However, -50°C -70°C is something truly incredible, even for those living in Russia.
As a South Dakotan can relate. Were used to blizzards cold weather true ice storms Tornados hail storms derecho storms. 36 still living in my same town I grew up in. Helpful in a lot of ways. Almost beneficial. Teaches us how to prepare. As the saying goes, "Think smart not hard."

I've lived in Alberta, where temps would dip to -30 or -40. I'm from Newfoundland, where the temperatures (on paper) are around -15 to -25 and it's WAY colder. Newfoundland is one the windiest places in the world, and one of the wettest. Alberta was dry. I promise you, that's all the difference with cold weather. I'd be more intimidated to do this video in Port Aux Basques in February, trust me.
Although I have lived in Florida, USA, for over 55yrs, I would love the chance to visit there and experience the cold and see the fog and permafrost.
I've been a subscriber to Kiun B for a long time now because I'm fascinated by how Yakutsian people have adapted and get on with their lives in a climate where most of us would struggle to survive. This is a great video guys, and provides a really good insight into how these amazing people don't just thrive, but enjoy life in a potentially deadly, but stunningly beautiful place. I'm really, really looking forward to your next videos from here and want to congratulate you both on going from strength to strength with your content.

Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee. He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

Hello from Australia to you both extremely interesting video showing the resilience of these remarkable people.
What an amazing and engaging video, fascinating!! It also demonstrates the astonishing resilience of our species. Being used to living in a warm country, I will struggle to live there though, especially through the harsh winters with temperatures exceeding the scale of the thermometer and the constant dense fog shrouding everything. I actually shivered watching those guys get into the water! Your pure enjoyment of touching those snowy trees warms one's heart Julia, very special.

Я 3 месяца жила в Крыму на лечение в 1984 году, и так мерзла , вроде нет снега, но в домах и в гостиницах, здравницы очень холодно, то ли топят то ли не топят отопление, а здесь холодрыга, но тепло в домах, школах, и везде и туалеты шикарные везде в тц и офисах. Главное одеться тепло на улице. Спасибо кочегарам.👍👍👍
Meanwhile here in Los a Ángeles my coworkers say it’s “freezing” whilst indoors in the office at about 50-55 degrees 😂
I’m from Memphis,TN and let me tell you I am amazed by this.
I think it's beautiful there, maybe because it's such unfamiliar territory for me. I couldn't stand the cold, though. Even when it is under 60°F here, I'm freezing. I imagine going for a walk there and freezing to death while I'm walking, and I wouldn't even know it! 😅
WELL DONE YOU TWO!! This was amazing. To see permafrost, how they heat their cars, the fog, just everything about the place was astonishing. The people have made so many adaptations to be able to live there and thrive. I didn't know it was a huge city ...thank you for a wonderful video. Suzi

What a great insight into life on the Permafrost & showing us how everything has to be above ground; quite the infrastructure. What I noticed was how cheerful the lights/light displays were as you were walking along the ?? downtown area. I have so many questions...but will view your vids to find out more.
As someone who lives in an area that gets below freezing a handful of times a year, this is mind boggling. Would love to experience it one day though!

People can endure anything provided they've got company! I mean, were it not for contributing everyone's efforts, life in Yakutia would have been much much harsher. But you can see railroads, apartment blocks and enjoy all amenities there just like in every other place in the world despite extreme temperatures. Makes me marvel at what our human race can do when working in unison and not fighting each other.

It was the coldest air temperature I’ve ever felt on my skin. It actually doesn’t feel that bad, as long as you have a hat, a big jacket, thick pants, thick boots, and thick mittens.
