Minus 51 degrees Celsius.

There is a city in Russia,

more specifically Siberian Russia, which is the most isolated city on the planet.

With temperatures going as low as minus 64 degrees Celsius.

My hands is really cold, they're tingling a bit.

Oh my god, fucking hell.

Frostbite forms in minutes, eyelashes freeze in seconds.

The most dangerous roads on the planet.

The place that 300,000 people call home.

This is unbearable.

This, ladies and gentlemen, Izzykutsk,

the coldest city on the planet.

This might be one of the only times where I'm going away and I'm gonna miss the horrible British weather.

Now getting to this city is incredibly difficult.

First was a six hour flight to Istanbul, Turkey.

Run, run, run!

Then from Turkey was a five hour flight to Moscow, Russia.

Oh my god, even here it's freezing!

That next morning we drove to a different airport.

Thank you very much.

Why is there no one here?

This was where I was boarding the final eight hour flight to Yakutsk.

For thousands of miles there was nothing but ice and eight hours later after crossing the siberian desert i saw light

this is inside it's the weirdest airport exit it's a bit

of a ghost town I was now about to head outside for the first time in Yakutsk.

My name's Joe, good to meet you.

This was Siam by the way, he was our translator.

Oh my f**king.

Where is he?

Oh my god, it's hard to breathe.

Where are you?

Where are my hoods?

Minus 39 degrees Celsius.

Quickly after walking outside we had to head to the car.

You see, all I was wearing was a singular coat,

and staying outside for any longer than just that was very dangerous.

Oh!

Are you okay?

Give me a hand.

Give me a hand, I'll help you up.

Is this the car?

Can't complain at this, can we?

Just look at that.

I'm gonna get some sleep and then check out Ukutsk.

Let me show you what you've got to wear to survive in this temperature.

What do you think of the fit?

I am boiling right now.

13 additional layers on top of your normal clothes.

The cold air just attacks your face any exposed skin it just starts stinging a bit.

Minus 41 degrees Celsius today.

Would you say minus 41 for your kutsk?

Is that cold?

That's usual.

The cars literally just disappear into the abyss and after walking around for only about 20 minutes.

Just look at the state of my hat,

my eyelashes, my gloves have completely frozen over.

It is very, very cold.

Can we go inside?

My hands, it's really cold.

Can we go inside for a second?

Fucking hell, like they're tingling a bit.

Fucking hell.

In the space of a few seconds,

my hands had gone from incredibly cold to just completely numb.

I couldn't feel them at all.

Your fingertips are very, very pink and cold.

Frostbite here is incredibly common.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Luckily, I just got first degree frostbite, which is recoverable.

Look at the difference in colour.

This is the hand that felt cold and tingly.

This is the other hand.

I had to sit in that coffee shop for a good 30 minutes to let my body heat up.

Once I've had a friend who was missing five of his toes on his left leg,

he was running barefoot for like two minutes.

Yeah, and he lost all his toes on his left foot.

Yeah.

There are so many extra challenges which need to be faced living in this city.

But what do the locals have to say about living here?

How is life living in the coldest city on the planet?

The cold is our joy, our happiness.

They treat us.

So you like the cold?

Yes, very much.

It's a pain.

I can't breathe anymore.

When I'm on a cruise,

I can't live there for a long time,

because I'm a lot of pain.

Really?

Oh wow.

The verdict I got was that no one here was fazed by the cold.

Do you find living here tough?

Yeah, it's different.

For us, such code is just way of life.

That's normal for us.

And we get used to it.

I mean, me personally, I don't understand how you could get used to this.

100

But then I met this guy.

101

What made you move to Yukutsk in the first place?

102

They wanted to send me to Chelyabinsk.

103

Well, he ran away, so I can say.

104

My brother took me here.

105

I came here and sent me here.

106

I've been here for 20 years.

107

I've been here and I've been here and I live here.

108

So what was the crime that he committed, Sayan?

109

He killed two people.

110

He killed two people?

111

Yes.

112

Fuck you.

113

As much as obviously that's awful,

114

in context to this video,

115

he committed a crime, tried to run away to the most isolated city on Earth,

116

aka Yakutsk, in hopes he wouldn't get caught,

117

eventually got caught here, served 20 years,

118

and when he got out,

119

he was so used to the cold that he decided to stay.

120

Do you enjoy living in Yakutsk?

121

No. Yeah?

122

Our life is not that different from yours,

123

just a little bit colder.

124

A city frozen in ice,

125

but behind it all, just a normal city.

126

Delicious.

127

It is currently minus 41 degrees Celsius here in Yakutsk.

128

Let me show you some cool things you can do here.

129

First is the hot water experiment.

130

Boiling hot water.

131

A normal banana.

132

Obviously I took a bite out of it just before.

133

And then I left it on an open window for 15 minutes.

134

Okay.

135

Completely frozen solid.

136

Next, hot noodles.

137

You leave it like this for a few minutes.

138

Oh, get the hat.

139

Completely frozen solid.

140

One of my favourite Young LA t-shirts here.

141

And after leaving it to dry for literally only a minute.

142

That is mad.

143

And as the sun set in Yakutsk,

144

we went to some fresh cloves,

145

laid up over that, went on a night out.

146

Is this warm for us?

147

This is warm?

148

Yeah.

149

Is this warm?

150

Yeah, we can eat ice cream.

151

I am literally freezing my tits off right now.

152

We're currently heading back from the night out This has got

153

to be like the weirdest walk back for a night out ever Yeah if we pass out right now we're f***ed

154

That next day my translator Sian said he had a surprise for me Thank you No way!

155

No way!

156

They've got a proper gym and everything Inside this sports hall are some of the finest athletes in Yakutsk,

157

training for Yakutsk's national sport.

158

Mass wrestling.

159

Here's how it works.

160

Two athletes sit facing each other with their feet braced against a board.

161

They both grip a short wooden stick.

162

The goal is to pull the stick away from your opponent or pull them across the board.

163

Is it me against him?

164

I had been challenged Nice to meet you

165

Somehow I actually won Well played,

166

well played I don't want to try it Can you play with me?

167

The world champion wants to play me I'd been told this guy here was the world champion of mass wrestling.

168

That guy there, he's the world champion.

169

Your champion.

170

World champion.

171

World champion.

172

Wow.

173

Now he wanted to play me.

174

Good luck.

175

This was a best of three game.

176

And...

177

Jump!

178

1-0 to the champ, he just destroyed me.

179

I don't know how I won that,

180

but now it was 1-1.

181

It was now the deciding round.

182

The world champion won it.

183

Well played my man.

184

But that ladies and gentlemen is Yakutsk's national sport.

185

The city is clearly doing fine.

186

But what about the little villages?

187

Died around Siberia, isolated on their own,

188

truly in the middle of nowhere.

189

Alright, it's pretty early right now.

190

We're currently about to embark on a six hour road trip deep into Siberia to a small remote village.

191

How cold is the village?

192

Minus 50.

193

Minus 50?

194

Maybe minus 61.

195

It feels like minus 61.

196

It feels like minus 61?

197

Yes.

198

I'm pretty nervous about this one, I'll be honest.

199

How safe are the roads here in Siberia?

200

So the further out we go,

201

the more dangerous the roads get.

202

Brilliant.

203

Due to the extreme cold,

204

the steam coming from other cars really affected the visibility.

205

I joined these guys in the back of the car for this part of the crib because it is sketch.

206

This wasn't even a road anymore,

207

the ground was literally ice and snow.

208

A remote road in the depths of Siberia.

209

What was I expecting to be honest?

210

But by some miracle after several hours we had arrived.

211

Sasha is a local of this village.

212

Minus 50 degrees Celsius, feels like minus 61.

213

Is this cold for you?

214

Well, today, yes.

215

Okay, let's go.

216

Just look at this place.

217

You can't see anything ahead of you.

218

That jump from minus 40 yesterday to minus 50 today is very noticeable.

219

The village is so much colder.

220

But with it being completely isolated hundreds of miles away from the city,

221

how different is life here?

222

Sasha had kindly invited me into her home where lunch was already prepared.

223

Now unlike in the city,

224

the diet of the villagers is all just food that they've sourced themselves.

225

Fish shavings are one of the most popular meals that people eat,

226

and you just eat it frozen.

227

Mmm.

228

Mmm, sounds crunchy.

229

Just tastes like an ice cube dipped in salt.

230

Okay, I wasn't the biggest fan of the fish shavings,

231

but a lot of this food was delicious.

232

I'll show you.

233

Now for the water that I'm drinking,

234

I'm standing on a lake right now,

235

obviously completely frozen, and this is where they get their drinking water from.

236

The frozen lake is cut up into ice blocks.

237

You cannot get much purer than that.

238

Every family has a weekly stash of ice,

239

which if they want to start drinking,

240

they bring it inside and let it melt.

241

This is the only option because piping systems would just freeze up.

242

And due to the limited water,

243

showers are not a thing here.

244

Special types of saunas are used,

245

where the intense heat is meant to cleanse open pores detoxify the body using a fraction of the water

246

that a shower would.

247

If you're rich in the village you'll have a private sauna like this one

248

but most go to the public sauna and if you need the toilet at any point.

249

That was a unique experience.

250

Sewage systems also don't exist here because it's physically too cold

251

so you go into one of these shacks outside do your business into a hole in the ground

252

and that business freezes instantly so there's no smell i have a present for you

253

you have a present yeah oh okay it's a bear meat bear meat no way

254

brown bears poses a big threat in this village don't give this meat to the Oh,

255

so only men can eat the bear meat.

256

Thank you very much.

257

Thank you.

258

I don't taste anything.

259

No flavour.

260

I mean, there's not really much to say about it.

261

You could say the food is bear.

262

I can hear like a,

263

apart from that dog, you can hear a pin drop.

264

I was literally walking in one of the most isolated places on the planet.

265

How do you get electricity to this remote place?

266

The electricity lights go on for hundreds of miles back to Yakutsk.

267

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here,

268

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here,

269

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

270

You've got everything you need here?

271

Yes, I'm here.

272

How do you like living here in this small village in the middle of nowhere?

273

Since we were born, we've already used to it.

274

We don't know another life.

275

There's definitely a lot of challenges which this village faces due to the extreme cold and extreme isolation.

276

The people I met all just seemed so happy.

277

We are living, not surviving.

278

This world, we are protecting our whole world.
