Do you want to know what real winter is? When the ground is covered with snow, the frost is crackling, and your 10eyelashes ice over? Take a trip to Yakutsk! The most hospitable people live in this "Permafrost Kingdom," and they will be your best guides to the beauty of Yakutia (and they won't let you freeze, either).

Often 5 sia: December 31! the temperature difference in the cold republic can reach 100 degrees: from 35 degrees in summer, to -65 degrees in winter. Meat served cold (stroganina) and horse meat – these are the main winter dishes of the Northern Krai's inhabitants.

Record low temperatures have been recorded at other points, but they are all in Yakutia. In Verkhoyansk, the temperature falls to −67,8 degrees, in Oimyakon – −67,7 degrees, just one tenth less. In Tomtor the indicated temperature is calculated by the Obrychev extrapolation method (−71,2 degrees).

The Yakut winter determines the rules of the road: install a double set of windows, never turn off the engine when 7 parking temporarily, keep cars in a heated garage over- night. If the last one is absent, the only option is autoheat- ing.

"Unts", or high fur boots, are the ideal shoes for the Yakut winter. Nothing is more warm and beautiful! Although now- 8 adays, sadly enough, it is rare to find anyone wearing them. Only the local horses are not afraid of Yakut winter, and 9 they graze openly all year! Yakutia is the Permafrost Kingdom The frozen zone can reach depths of 200 to 500 metres. That's why homes in 3 Yakutia are build on stilts. The deepest ever recorded is 1370 meters, in the west of republic at the upper reaches of the Vilia river.
