The Way of Life of People in the Yakutsk is Unbelievable!

If you think your country is cold, you should try going to Yakutsk. The city is the world’s coldest with a temperature average of 62.7 degrees Celsius in 2023, which is the coldest it has been in the last two decades. Yakutsk is the capital city of Russia’s Sakha Republic in eastern Siberia, and this city has been seeing an abnormally long cold season and worse winter thanks to global warming. Yakutsk is so cold because it’s located in the permafrost region of the Russian Far East. Permafrost means a solid frozen layer made of soil, gravel, and sand that are bound together by ice. Experts say that extreme cold can be harmful to the human body. Yakutsk’s temperature is cold enough to numb exposed skin, which means frostbite is a constant hazard. People are forced to dress “like a cabbage” in a bid to stay warm. The air is so cold that people’s eyelashes froze. Do you want to experience the city’s coldest month? Try going in January.
