Cold Weather Demonstrations in Yakutsk



The point where the Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperature scales meet is -40. Once you get that cold,  a degree here or there makes little difference because you do not want to be out in it. Winter is a lot colder than that in Yakutsk, the coldest city in the world. Yakutsk is where cold weather is a way of life. If your car isn't in a garage, you leave it running all the time. You learn early how to dress for the weather. And when you want to impress people, you do some crazy experiments to show how fast things will freeze.

Kiun B has a bunch of videos about living in Yakutsk, the cold weather, and her Sakha culture.
