The Thermal Fortress: Life and Survival at -60°C in Yakutsk

Описание: Yakutsk, the capital of Russia’s Sakha Republic, is one of the coldest inhabited cities on Earth. In winter, temperatures can plunge to -60°C (-76°F), turning the city into what many describe as a “thermal fortress” — a place where survival depends on heat, insulation, and adaptation.

This documentary explores how people live and survive in Yakutsk’s extreme climate. From apartment buildings engineered to retain warmth and homes built on permafrost, to layered fur clothing and daily routines designed to prevent frostbite, every detail of life revolves around fighting the cold.

Discover how transportation, technology, food, and social life adapt when winter dominates for months. Engines must be protected, water systems are engineered for freezing conditions, and communities rely on experience passed down through generations.

Despite the brutal temperatures, Yakutsk remains vibrant — with schools, markets, families, and culture thriving in one of the harshest environments on the planet. This is not just a story about cold weather, but about human resilience and the science of survival.

If you’re fascinated by extreme places, life in Siberia, and real-world survival in brutal climates, this journey into Yakutsk’s thermal fortress is for you.
