This video was shot 3 weeks before the invasion of Ukraine. I do NOT support this war, and my thoughts go out to our friends in Ukraine. We love you.
Welcome to YAKUTSK, (SIBERIA) – AKA the WORLD’S COLDEST CITY. More than 300,000 people live here, where winter temperatures (like right now) reach as low as -55 Celsius.
I went to Yakutsk a few weeks ago with my good friend Ammar from @YesTheory. The city is so remote that we had to take a 9-hour domestic flight from Moscow to get there.
As soon as we arrived in this cold winter wonderland, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Completely frozen trees, frozen pipelines, frozen cars… frozen everything!! But underneath the layers of jackets are extremely friendly faces and warm smiles. And that’s what I came here to learn about – humanity. Who are the Yakutian people? How do they survive these brutally cold winters?
This video takes you on a 4-day journey through the world’s coldest city – Yakutsk. I think you will be quite surprised to discover that Yakutsk is actually a normal city, just like anywhere else. It just happens to be extremely cold!
Thank you to my local friends Maria #1 and Maria #2 (from @LifeinYakutia) for showing me around! And thanks to Andrey for the awesome work behind the camera. And thank YOU so much for watching — this video is really special to me and many long hours of work have gone into it.
Have a great Sunday and I’ll see you next week.

After a long internal debate, I decided to proceed with sharing this video. It was shot 3 weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. I am disgusted by Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine and I do not support this war. Thoughts going out to all of our friends and loved ones in Ukraine.
This story is one that I have been planning to tell for 5 years and I’m really excited to finally share the beautiful life in Yakutsk – the World’s Coldest City. Thank you for watching and I look forward to reading your comments ❤️
Unprovoked war? Okay, time to unsubscribe.
anyone else notice that first dude talking about the cold spoke surprisingly good English?
In nothern Norway its basicly the same for the kids in primary school.
0 degrees freezing, 100 degrees boiling. Why do Americans insist on using their stupid Fahrenheit temperature that no one else uses?
Russia and its people are beautiful. It’s a shame their government is the way it is.
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
nato provoked it

This year's min/max temperatures in Yakutsk were -62.7C/+35.5C (-80.9F/+95.9F) so far.

Be disgusted with the United States government for not allowing peace talks and keeping this war going
I'm getting chills just watching this! 🤣🥶🥶🥶🤣🤣I was born in Russia as well, but by Sochi 😄
You can just tell dude has an Asian fetish.
20:06 Bro Just wasted His "Bigmac"
"Bottom of the burger is already cold" , places burger directly on snow like what bro
I can see that Biden’s sanctions on Russia is really working
And Canadians and Sweden ppl complain about the cold. this Proves is NOT the cold is the ppl and how they are.
I like snow but idont like cold
I like summer but not hot
Seeing a fellow Arizonan visit the coldest place in the world is so satisfying.
I love your channel
Lol parts of Canada with the wind chill get to that cold and colder! Not our large cities though
I got seasonal affective disorder just from watching this video.
OMG, I thought Wisconsin had cold winters! I laughed when most of the people outside stated it was a "warm day". What beautiful people there. So friendly and happy. I have no problem with the Russian people, just their terrible government.
It is not an unprovoked war. The US provoked it by discussing adding Ukraine to NATO, thereby breaking a treaty made with Russia years earlier. The US has no interest in ending the war and has made no effort to arrange peace talks. Politicians are getting rich off this war, here and in Ukraine.
"bro its not that cold" -kid who always wears shorts
Reminds me of Doctor Zhivago… beautiful!
Bat mukha silang taga Asia?
I'm an indian and i support Russia because this time america is the villian
Love ur vids and all u do but please. Yakut people are Turkic. Not Mongolian. Mongolian was term given by west. Most of the Eurasian populations also Turkic. Not Mongol
When you think of Russia. The First thing that comes to mind is Putin.
