Visiting the COLDEST CITY in the World (-71°C, -96°F) YAKUTSK / YAKUTIA

This is a city where literally everyone is just chillin.

Here, the refrigerator is used as a microwave.

Sorry for my english in advance* Me and my family once nearly died when our car broke down just as he said at 9:00. I was 8 back then. It was not in Yakutsk but it was a similar area, and it was about the same temperature, -47C or -58F. We stuck in a wilderness. And, worst of all, it was at night. My dad left the car to stop someone else on the road so they could transfer us to safety using a cable but there were no cars, maybe like one in 10 or 20 minutes, and no one stoped for us because it was actually illegal to drag another car in that area and people didn't want to get in trouble. So he stood there for more than an hour waiting and raising his hand when another car passed us by (i remember how he got into the car from time to time with little icicles on his mustache, and i'm not joking). Meanwhile my mom tried to warm me on the backseat, taking everything from the car like clothes and such, she even took off her upper clothes for me because i guess i was freezing to death, since soon i simply passed out. When i woke up i realised that we were saved by a passerby who was not afraid of the consequences and helped us to get to the hotel. I was lying under three blankets while my mom was lying under her clothes by my side, sacrificing herself for me once again. But my dad... Oh lord, that poor man spent the night in a cold garage fixing our car. He haven't slept one minute. When we woke up he was done and we hit the road again eager to get home. To this day, i think about how we could die out there, and how they both saved themselves and me through perseverance, cold (no pun intended) thinking and cooperation. edit: and i can't even imagine how frightened they were. But they freaking did it anyway. I love my parents.

I’ve been watching Ruhi Çenet since 2017 and feel incredibly happy to see his content finally being loved and known worldwide, as he deserves.

I love how YouTube randomly recommends this to everyone in the middle of summer

sometimes we forget, how blessed we are.

I was also in Yakutsk. Your video was very accurate and brought back many fine memories for me. Your video is an excellent depiction of Yakutsk.

So... we just all got it recommended out of nowhere on the same day

"We are not owners of this land. We are just guests" So true.

"a banana can be turn into a hammer in minutes" are the words i never thought i would hear in my life

Mind blowing & very considerate thoughts of the Yakutskinan host about their local environment & ecology ! Hats off !

I stay in South Africa Durban and the average temp is + 25 and I struggle during winter season when temp drop to +15.I salute people who survive this

Imagine being a google maps photographer and getting assigned to this place.

They keep their food in fridges, to prevent it from being frozen outside.

thank you for allowing me to travel through your great videos because i could never afford your adventures. You post real, informational travel videos by also bringing awareness in some. Stay safe out there brother!

I've never experienced anything lower than -24 celsius. This is incredible.
