Yakutsk and Oymyakon, Russia.
"I'm not afraid of the cold; I'm only afraid of dogs. The cold can't bite you."
I was going to say, call me crazy but I want to go here.' But then, at the end of this video, they actually say if you live here you are insane or truly want to test the human limits.
"Until it gets to -40 C it's absolutely fine." hahahahha
However, I really do want to visit- call me crazy. And its neither of those two reasons. I love the winter. In fact, I think it is my favorite season. I say 'I think' for I need to stay through another brutal one to be sure, action speaks louder than words. But oh man- winter is soooo beautiful. This city is jaw droppingly beautiful. And there is something romantic yet extremely brutal about the cold. The harshness of it only adds to my obsession.
BBC did a little article here, which is how I first read read about Yakutsk. Watch the video.
I found the video above on this article, which has some worthy pictures.
Aahhhh some day I will sit in a little cabin here, toasty warm next to the fire, having just came in from the bitter -72 degree weather. Birds freeze mid flight! If you throw hot water in the air it vaporizes then turns to snow! And the woods and town look like a picture perfect winter wonderland! Did you hear that 'crunch crunch' in the video?! I am excited.
