What Is It Like Working in the Coldest City On Earth? -62°C (-79.6°F), Yakutsk

The fact that nobody’s commenting on the fact that these workers are so incredibly underpaid, especially the street cleaners, is crazy!

As someone who works in sunny southern California, the way these guys work in the cold is fascinating. We never have to worry about pipes+hydrants freezing, frostbite, or the engines/trucks not starting due to the temperature and it's admirable how they have adapted to these challenges

A very enlightening episode. I was a Building Contractor in Southern California. The crews there complained about everything all the time. It amazes me to see people in your part of the world work in the most miserable conditions and not complain. My respect for your culture is at the highest levels.

Awesome dedication by the Firefighters. I spent 35 years in the fire service and faced some harsh winter conditions, but nothing like that! However, one thing we all have in common, no matter where we are is our families are always happy and relieved when we return home safely after each shift.

I love all these videos because it's such a fascinating exciting look into the lives of people who live so differently than I do, but my favorite part is the realness of the subjects in these videos. I love their shy smiles and excitement in front of the camera, as they candidly share their lives and show their personalities. These videos are so well done!

This was professional-grade :) Your mini-documentaries are getting higher and higher quality :) I love watching your tales of life in the harsh north.

I'm from a Nordic country that's considered quite cold enough. But this Yakutsk stuff is on another level. I find it quite unbelievable that they would do construction (and the other jobs) at those temperatures. They seem like great and tough people though, all the best to the people of Yakutsk.

As an African who was born and raised in the most beautiful tropical country, Uganda, but now living in the United States of America, and who hates the cold, I have a lot of respect for these guys who work in such unfriendly environments. 40°F is already bad for me, but imagine -70°F! I get a headache just thinking about it. Growing up in my country, Uganda, you don't have to worry about weather at all because it's always beautiful, especially in the Western part of the country. God made my country with all his/her heart as a master piece. Folks down there might not have a lot of possessions, but they have little to worry about, and certainly not the weather!

I’m from Siberia too but it’s not so cold here like in Yakutia ❤ you are brave guys 👍🏻

I am an architecture student and have been working as an intern architect for two years now it’s very cool to see how you guys in an extremely harsh environment build houses and choose materials. Thank you for sharing as always!

Yakutsk seems like such a tightnit community. A strong family mixed with a wholesome community sounds like a perfect place to raise a family. I'm not sure why but I always have tears running down my face when I watch these videos. There's something wholesome and organic about simple living that I wish one day I can experience first hand. Thank you for these videos. Blessings...

10:38 Rofl... "Yeah, if it's really dangerously cold outside, we can get to work 1 hour less that day" 😅

These people are hardworking and HUMBLE, and seem much happier for it. We here in the West should take notes.

This video reminds me of something my parents taught me 'that no matter what you do, do your best and take pride in your work'.

I would love to visit here one day, the culture looks amazing and the people so friendly, the environment is absolutely beautiful.

진짜 볼때 놀랍다. 대단한거같다. 진짜 강원도에서 군 복무할대 영하 20도 추위 이런것에도 정말 얼어죽을정도로 추웠는데, 지금도 그 추위를 잊을수가 없어. 혹한기 훈련할때, 진짜 손발이 깨지는거같은데, 어떻게 30 40도 영하 50도 이런 추위에 살수가있지? 정말 대단한거같아.

I'm not sure how I came across this channel, but I love it. It's so interesting seeing how people adapt to live in these environments. One thing I wonder is, besides the obvious frostbite/hypothermia, are there any common health issues that come with living in such harsh conditions?

Am a firefighter in Alaska. Can sympathize with firefighters there.

👍👍👍👍👍 My heart goes out to the poor Street Cleaners who earn 400. a month with 400. a month Living Expenses excluding Accommodations.

Musk should look into recruiting people from Yakutsk for the mission to Mars. Conditions are pretty much the same and Yakutsk people have all the training:)
