Описание: Surviving Yakutia: Growing Potatoes and Carrots During the Short Arctic Summer

In Yakutia, summer is not a season of rest — it is a race against time.

When the frozen ground finally softens, an 85-year-old Yakut woman begins planting potatoes and carrots, using the brief Arctic summer to prepare for the long winter ahead. With only a few short weeks of warmth, every day matters, and every seed carries the weight of survival.

In this land, farming is not about abundance.
It is about understanding the rhythm of nature, working with limited soil, and storing enough food to endure months of extreme cold when temperatures return to −71°C.

This episode follows the quiet process of planting, tending, and preparing crops in one of the coldest inhabited regions on Earth. It reveals how simple agricultural routines become essential survival strategies in a place where winter dominates most of the year.
