In this video, we follow Daiaana through a typical Saturday in Yakutsk as the temperature drops to –54°C. You will see how she heats her home where radiators run at maximum power to keep the cold at bay. Daiaana shows how she keeps her food in the frozen air outside her window and uses solid blocks of frozen milk for her morning coffee. You’ll also see how she dresses in 11kg of heavy layers and reindeer fur boots just to step outside safely. You will also discover how her sister drives in the thick “Ice Fog” using insulated car blankets to survive the Arctic winter. From the high cost of fresh fruit to a night out in high heels on solid ice, this is the reality of daily life in the coldest city on Earth.

I’m hearing prices that are not far off what we have here price wise. The only exception is the strawberries. But everything else food wise, very similar.
I've lived and worked in places where winters were a usual -50C.. Yes, estremely cold and alot of cars youd think can handle that temperature, even if already warmed from a heated parking garage, unprotected undercarriage things like transmission or 4×4 transfer cases will make the fluid freeze and literally pop. 2 wheel drive suddenly. Buying the right clothing though, I could go out in 2 layers, snow pants with a built in locator. electric heated boots and gloves, ski mask etc. Still ended up with ice frozen closed eyes after going for a walk on a giant frozen lake. Trucks driving by, ice cracking underneath. Oh good times.
-25 °C I feel the lowest temperature in Romania.
Is a big difference between
0°C Water frezzeing temperature
-10°C feels cold
-20°C feel like you leave in a freezer
I can't understand what means -50 °C or low than that.
What my italian friends imagine when I tell them I've been in Finland in July:
We only don't go to school if its -20C
А на русском можно?
This is fascinating, Yakutsk is now on my bucket list to visit, ty for the vid
Groceries were pretty cheap.
HOW
Well that was the weirdest way I’ve seen anyone hold a toothbrush. Lll
You shouldn't pay that much
This is crazy cold 🥶🥶
What is the temperature inside the apartment?
520 dollars for a one room flat (with a small kitchen) in the middle of Yakutsk is what I pay for my one room apartment (with a small kitchen) in a small city in Sweden lol. I was suprised that the prices for coffee and cake was about the same too. So cool <3
This is so fascinating to watch. I'm in Nigeria currently (Nov 2026). It's so hot here (27-32 degrees) because of El niño. I watch videos like these to contact the cold lol. Jokes aside, this video demonstrates how extreme weather can be both a blessing and a curse.
Ok and when you need to take a shit? Do you plan 15 mins to undress?
I will not complain again the tropical weather here🥲
Started dating a yakutsk girl, gives me a window into where she's from…😮
Hi, i live in Siberia, Irkutsk, and when we had a -36C degrees at last winter, we have a distance school(but, like for 3 days). And it keeps getting colder almost every year. My grandmother is living in Мирный( city in Sakha Republic(Yakutia)). I cant imagine, how live in at least -45C degrees outside, and i think i gotta meet Yakutia one day. I love my place, even if we got bears, early winter, and a "plague"(non real) here.
No thanks, lived in North Dakota in high school and that was bad enough
It’s a lot like Quebec Province, just 20°C colder! Here, on very cold nights, temperatures can drop anywhere from -30°C to -40°C, though that is quite rare.
However, temperatures between -25°C and -30°C are very common.
In downtown Montreal, there are underground shopping arcades connected to the metro network, so when it’s extremely cold, people can do their shopping while barely having to step outside.
a coffee here where life is practically impossible was $5
у меня валяется подобная шапка, почему она такая дорогая у вас? Будто из какого-то соболя. Парка тоже дороже натуральной шубы, какая-то доплата за бренд? Унты, конечно, очень красивые. Но тоже дорогие, ИМХО. Даже глянула на авито цены. Понятно там дешевле, но в несколько раз. Но ИМХО, не надо людей пугать. Это не та средняя одежда, которую носит большинство.
The numbers don't add up . The cost of living , food , rent , CLOTHES 😱 , gasoline , nice car , you name it , but makes $1000 a month ⁉️🤔
I think that translating person messed it up .
At the lunch place , translator lady said $9 , but the girl said she paid for the lunch $2 🤔⁉️🤔⁉️🤔
The Canteen concept is best in Russia. They serve great tasting safe food at affordable prices. I ate at those canteens everyday during my 3 week stay in Russia.
6:59 baddiieeeeee
I don't understand how one can keep leaving there.. and so much animal cruelty in their clothing.. Animals didn't deserve to die for that 🙁
I'm I the only one who noticed AC installed in a building at 12:48
Mentioning temperature in every sentence is mandatory
This is a great video recording your life in such a cold city. I want to share this video in Chinese community. I hope you will agree with it.
Hello from Alaska! I thought we had it bad at -50°F. -84° is another level of misery lmao
I wouldn't survive in that environment.
Honestly would like to visit such place and see if I would like it there or is it too much. Because I LOVE cold weather, I'm almost always hot and open windows at winter time when it's -5 because I can't sleep… I don't even wear winter clothes anymore for like past 10 years because I was always sweating and wearing it only because "people do that". Now I only wear autumn jackets until it is like -10, and only on long sleeve shirt, nothing more. At home I wear dresses whole year. The only times I'm cold is when I'm sick or really, really tired. So maybe it would be a perfect place for me to live… But I know it is not easy or fun, so that's why would love to travel and experience.
