Exploring Yakutsk - The Coldest City on Earth

It is great to see what Russia is like from the perspective of an actual Russian who speaks the language fluently and native to the culture vs. foreign vloggers who go around Russia. A completely different vibe yet holistic one.

I love the fact that now you can afford some nice meals and try local cousin. I always felt bad watching you eat instant noodles every video. Glad that channel and income is growing. Greetings from Serbia

The lowest temperature recorded in Yakutsk was −64.4 °C (−83.9 °F) on 5 February 1891 and the highest temperatures +38.4 °C (101.1 °F) on 17 July 2011. Wild temperature differences!

Watching from Australia, i cannot imagine living in such a cold climate.

I live in a city in Northern Canada which has brutally cold winters - the lowest recorded temperature is -53.3 oC and I have myself experienced -45oC - and can tell those who have never experienced it that you can become accustomed to such temperatures, though precautions must be taken when it hits the -40 range. We dont use 'Natasha's' here in Northern Canada, rather people generally leave their cars in heated garages or, if they are forced to leave their vehicle outside, have their engines plugged into an electrical outlet via a long cord leading to your house to keep their engines warm ... though it does not always work.

Place looks so cool. No pun intended 😂

I pay my respects to my kinsmen, the Yakut people. Greetings from Turkey

Привет из Якутска! Даже не знала, что Якутия привлекает много блогеров и интересна людям. Рада, что больше людей узнают про нашу родину :)

I could tell that you were at -40 due to the squeaking sound when you walk. The coldest I've ever experienced was -66.7F(-55C) At that temperature the electronic thermometer died. I worked about 120 miles east of Fairbanks. The Yakutsk groceries were less expensive compared to Alaska. We did not blanket our vehicles, we used electric outlets to power engine block heaters. Driving from Fairbanks for hours would lead to frozen groceries even if the heat was on full in an F-250 truck. We were told several myths about how cars were warmed in Russia, thank you for these cold region videos. Final thought - I've seen an outhouse in Alaska on the spring day when all the yellow snow and ice melted. It was not a pleasant sight or smell.

Those mammoths must be pretty hardcore to have survived in those conditions, as a warm blooded animal!

I like this video. I’m from El Salvador, CA In my DNA I have desend of Yakkut ❤That is unbelievable, but true❤

I was having a really shitty day and then a new Vagabond video came up. Turned the day right around for me! As always, your work is awesome, I love getting the opportunity to explore far off reaches with you as a guide. I also really appreciate how you speak with locals and find out what the situation is like, it's much needed in this day and age. Keep being awesome man!

Another fantastic video 😀 Thank you so much from Germany 🇩🇪

thank you from sharing from the USA

Over the years, I've found I prefer mittens over gloves. I watch several traveller channels. I prefer yours because you give a brief history as you go. Good luck, safe travels. Enjoying from Idaho.

I am really impressed with the fact they have an LED wall! I can't imagine the cost it took to get it transported and built there vs Western Russia.

I am fascinated by Yakutia and have watched many, many YouTube videos from there but your unique perspective showed me lots of things I have not seen before! It was interesting but saddening to see the condition of the municipal housing. This video quality is very nice and crisp. Greetings from Ireland.
