Yakutsk. Houses on permafrost...

Permafrost takes approximately 25% of the total ground area of ​​the globe. The history of the permafrost started 1-2 million years ago. The most ancient frozen stratas were found in the Kolyma lowland in the north of Yakutia. Therefore Yakutia called the cradle of the permafrost.

Countryside. Part 7. Winter fishing "Kuyuur".

On lake you should find islands of water under ice, where lake's small fishes, crucians and minnows  hibernate...Around is caught by ice tightly...It is considered that "Kuyuur" is one of the dirtiest kind of fishing because not only fish is slopped as a fountain(water is under a big pressure) but also lake's mud sometimes...

Countryside. Part 6. Winter seine fishing...

Winter fishing "Mungkha" is the most mass kind of fishing to crucians... Women  and children take part in it too...Winter day is short and everybody starts working hastily... According to the tradition, it is strictly forbidden for women to touch a net... If woman oversteps a seine, fishing can be cancelled - 

there would be no fortune...

How to survive in frozen Russian Siberia! Part 1.

Soon I am going to visit my aunt's village))) The distance between Yakutsk and Itik-Kyuol' is 280 km. We will go by car and the road takes 5 hours...Settlements are at a distance of 80-100 km all the way between them is deserted...It means there are no humans...Moreover the temperature reaches -48C!!! If the car will break or unexpected situation will happen I must be ready to survive in the frozen cold. That's why I am choosing clothes for a long trip.)

Competition in extreme conditions)

Sometimes I think that winter will never end...The temperature outdoors is -45C))It's hard to imagine that the temperature in summer will be + 36C... Today is foggy day again...I can't see the Sun... It looks like there is no Sun... It is unreal to breathe normally because there are not enough oxygen...BUT!

Nevertheless, My Dad organized the table tennis play outside) He is a trainer of table tennis)
I think he defied the Cold or the winter actually )
