How could a population in the coldest city on earth of over 300K people be able to survive century after in a climate with temperatures averaging below minus 40 degrees celsius in the winters with the coldest temperature ever registered at -64 ceelsius. Let’s explore Yakutsk!
Around two thirds of the country is covered by permafrost. Permanently frozen ground that never melts, even in hot temperatures in the summer where the weather can reach 34 degrees celsius, only a small layer is affected. Only 2 meters melts in the summer, the rest of it stays frozen, but it’s 40 degrees outside. The permafrost runs from just below the surface of much of Siberia, sometimes thousands of meters underground never melting. It’s really important waht you eat in Yakutsk to stay warm, for example the part of the fish that thay eat helps them stay warm.
The people of Yukatsk are incredibly unique in that they are actually indigenous to this Siberian region. Long before the russian arrived and colonized the area in the 17th century, the republic of saka the region Yakutsk is located in is actually today one of the semi-autonomous republics within Russia, but exactly when the indigenous people migrated here still seems unclear. The Yakutsk may have settled in the area as early as the 9th century or as late as the 16th century. Fleeing from the axpansionist Mongolian empire. Many tribes were forced to move higher and higher up north with the resulting cultural melding that occured between those incoming migrants eventually creating the Yakutsk.
The official languages of this region are russian, but more interestingly also their native original tongue saka also known as Yakut spoken by 47% of the population including 87% of the Yakuts themselves.
Local people are wonderful, thay are not just surviving, but living there. It might be the coldest city on the planet, but there are some of the warmest heart in Yakutsk. They say the one big thing is always believing to yourself, we have to know that everything is love, everything is peace. One thing you have to believe is your heart. All of questions you can find the answer in your heart.

在地球上最寒冷的城市中，超过 30 万人的人口如何能够在一个世纪后在冬季平均气温低于负 40 摄氏度的气候中生存下来，而有史以来最冷的气温记录在 -64 摄氏度。让我们探索雅库茨克！
该国大约三分之二的土地被永久冻土覆盖。永久冻土永远不会融化，即使在夏季气温高达 34 摄氏度的高温下，也只有一小层受到影响。夏季只有 2 米融化，其余部分保持冰冻状态，但室外温度为 40 度。永久冻土从西伯利亚大部分地区的地表以下延伸，有时地下数千米从未融化。在雅库茨克吃什么来保持温暖真的很重要，例如，他们吃的鱼的一部分可以帮助他们保持温暖。
尤卡茨克人非常独特，因为他们实际上是西伯利亚地区的土著。早在 17 世纪俄罗斯人到达并殖民该地区之前，雅库茨克地区所在的萨卡共和国实际上是今天俄罗斯境内的半自治共和国之一，但土著人究竟何时迁移到这里仍不清楚。雅库茨克人可能早在 9 世纪或 16 世纪就已在该地区定居。逃离扩张主义的蒙古帝国。许多部落被迫向北越来越高，由此产生的文化融合发生在这些传入移民之间，最终创造了雅库茨克。
该地区的官方语言是俄语，但更有趣的是，47% 的人口（包括 87% 的雅库特人自己）使用他们的母语 saka，也称为雅库特语。
当地人很棒，他们不只是求生存，更重要的是生活在那里。它可能是地球上最冷的城市，但雅库茨克有一些最温暖的心。他们说最大的事情就是永远相信自己，我们必须知道一切都是爱，一切都是和平。你必须相信的一件事是你的心。所有的问题，你都能在心里找到答案。
