In Eastern Siberia, Yakutia holds multiple records for coldest temperatures in winter. Ships anchoring in the port of Yakutsk can get completely stuck in the ice. The “ice cutters” thus dig a maze of tunnels under the ships with picks and chainsaws.
Russia is a country of extremes, with subtropical regions in the south and an arctic climate in the north. On the banks of the Lena River, the people of Yakutsk have learned to survive – and to take advantage of the harsh winter conditions.
