1_Lenin_Sq.jpgby junior_zComment: Yeowza! That is just too cold for me. Beautiful image. I'm so excited to see this part of Russia through your lens.
Edit to say: I just looked up Yakutsk o Wikipedia and it IS cold - one of the the coldest freakin city in the WORLD. I just knew it looking at those phots. LOL!
Yakutsk is one of the coldest cities on earth, with January temperatures averaging -45°F (-43°C). The coldest temperatures ever recorded outside Antarctica occur in the basin of the Yana River to the northeast. Despite this however, July temperatures can often exceed 90°F (32°C), making the region among the greatest in the world for seasonal temperature differentials. Yakutsk is the biggest city built on continuous permafrost. Most houses are built on concrete piles.
