Yakutsk, with an average temperature of −8.8 °C (16.2 °F), is the second coldest large city in the world after Norilsk, although Yakutsk experiences colder temperatures in the winter.[8] Yakutsk is also the largest city located in continuous permafrost and one of the largest that cannot be reached by road. Yakutsk is located in the Central Yakutian Lowland and is a major port on the Lena River. It is served by the Yakutsk Airport as well as the smaller Magan Airport.
(2) YAKUSTK HISTORY --------------------------
______________________
The Yakuts, also known as the Sakha people, migrated to the area during the 13th and 14th centuries from other parts of Siberia. When they arrived they mixed with other indigenous Siberians in the area.[9] The Russian settlement of Yakutsk was founded in 1632 as an ostrog (fortress) by Pyotr Beketov. In 1639, it became the center of a voyevodstvo. The Voyevoda of Yakutsk soon became the most important Russian official in the region and directed expansion to the east and south.
(3)YAKUSTK CULTURE -------------------
______________________
There are several theaters in Yakutsk: the State Russian Drama Theater, named after A. S. Pushkin; the Sakha Theater, named after P. A. Oiyunsky; the Suorun Omoloon Young Spectator's Theater; and the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, named after D. K. Sivtsev.
There are a number of museums as well: the National Fine Arts Museum of Sakha; the Museum of Local Lore and History, named after E. Yaroslavsky; and the only museums in the world dedicated to the khomus and permafrost.
The annual Ysyakh summer festival takes place the last weekend in June. The traditional Yakut summer solstice festivities include a celebration of the revival and renewal of the nature, fertility and beginning of a new year. It is accompanied by national Yakut rituals and ceremonies, folk dancing, horse racing, Yakut ethnic music and singing, national cuisine, and competitions in traditional Yakut sports.[17]
There is a local punk scene[18] in Yakutsk, with many bands. Shows can bring up to 300 people, young but also older too.

The World's Coldest Cities
For most of us, cold means having to turn up the heat or bundling up in extra layers. There are a few places on Earth, however, that take our understanding of cold to a whole new level. According to Guinness World Records, the coldest permanently lived-in human settlement is the remote village of Oymyakon in Russian Siberia, where temperatures dropped to a bone-chilling -90ºF/ -68ºC in 1933. This article takes a look at some of the world’s coldest cities, ranked from warmest to coldest, based on average January temperatures.
2 of 8
Astana, Kazakhstan
Average January temperature: 6.4 °F/ -14.2°C
Although the summer months are warm, winters in Astana are long, dry, and exceptionally cold. Extreme lows of -61°F/ -51.5°C have been recorded, although the monthly average for January is 6.4 °F/ -14.2°C. Most years, the city’s river remains frozen over from mid-November to early April. With plenty of indoor attractions in which to escape from the weather, winter visitors do not need to fear the cold.
Astana is a modern city defined by futuristic architecture, glittering mosques and a wealth of shopping and entertainment centers.
3 of 8
International Falls, Minnesota, United States
Average January temperature: 4.4°F/-15°C
This northern Minnesotan city calls itself The Icebox of the Nation, and with record lows of -55 °F/ -48 °C and an average seasonal snowfall of 71.6 inches, that claim is well-justified. International Falls has the most days per year with high temperatures below freezing of any incorporated city in the contiguous U.S.—not to mention some spectacular night skies.
It is best known for its Canadian border crossing, and as the gateway to nearby Voyageurs National Park. The park is popular for kayaking and hiking in summer, and for cross-country skiing and ice-fishing in winter.
4 of 8
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Perched 4,430 feet above sea level on the edge of the Mongolian steppes, Ulaanbaatar is the world’s coldest national capital. The city experiences extreme seasons with recorded summer highs of 102°F/ 39°C; however, plunging lows of -44°F/ -42°C during the long winter months give Ulaanbaatar an average annual mean temperature that hovers just below freezing.
5 of 8
Barrow, United States
Located above the Arctic Circle in Alaska, Barrow is the northernmost city in the United States. It has the lowest average temperature of all Alaskan cities, exacerbated by frequent cloud cover and extreme winds of up to 60 miles/ hour. The sun remains below the horizon for 65 days each year, while on average, only 120 days of the year experience high temperatures that are above freezing.
6 of 8
Yellowknife, Canada
The capital of Canada’s Northwest Territories lies 250 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and is a city of superlatives according to a survey by Environment Canada. Of 100 Canadian cities, Yellowknife is the coldest year round, has the coldest winter, the most extreme windchill and the longest snow cover season. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -60 °F/ -51°C, and yet ironically, it also boasts the sunniest Canadian summer.
7 of 8
Norilsk, Russia
Norilsk is the world’s most northerly city with more than 100,000 inhabitants, and one of only three major cities located in the continuous permafrost zone. At 14ºF/ -10ºC it has the coldest mean annual temperature of any big city, while winter lows reach extremes of -63ºF/ -53ºC. With museums, an art gallery and one of the world’s northernmost mosques, Norilsk has its own unique culture; however, it’s unlikely to become a tourist destination anytime soon.
8 of 8
Yakutsk, Russia
The capital city of Russia’s Sakha Republic, Yakutsk is located approximately 280 miles south of the Arctic Circle and has the thermometer readings to match. With average January temperatures of of -41ºF/ -40ºC, Yakutsk is thought to be the coldest major city in the world — certainly, it has the lowest average winter temperatures. Sights like the Permafrost Kingdom ice museum, the Christian Market (pictured) and the National Art Museum of the Republic of Sakha, however, make this city a worthwhile destination for those that don’t mind the chill, while average temperatures of 67ºF/ 19.5ºC in July make it a summertime possibility for fair-weather travelers.

The Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (Russian: Республика Саха (Якутия), tr. Respublika Sakha (Yakutiya), IPA: [rʲɪsˈpublʲɪkə sɐˈxa jɪˈkutʲɪjə]; Sakha: Саха Өрөспүүбүлүкэтэ, translit. Sakha Öröspüübülükete, IPA: [saˈxa øɾøsˈpyːbylykete], Sakha Republic), simply Sakha (Yakutia) (Russian: Саха (Якутия); Sakha: Саха Сирэ, translit. Sakha Sire), is a federal subject of Russia (a republic). It has a population of 958,528 (2010 Census), consisting mainly of ethnic Yakuts and Russians.
Comprising half the Far Eastern Federal District, it is the largest subnational governing body by area in the world at 3,083,523 square kilometers (1,190,555 sq mi) and the eighth largest territory in the world, if the republics of Russia were compared with other countries. It is larger than Argentina and just smaller than India. Its capital is the city of Yakutsk. It is also well known for its extreme and severe climate, with the lowest temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere being recorded in Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon, and regular winter averages commonly being below −35 °C (−31 °F) in several population centers, including Yakutsk. The hypercontinental tendencies also result in very warm summers for much of the republic.

9.300 year old Frozen Bison found in Siberia and Mammal's Body System well preserved by Nature
The incredible discovery of the remarkably intact animal was made back in July 2011, but now scientists have taken a look inside.
And they have revealed the 'mummy' has a complete brain, heart, blood vessels and digestive system.
The most complete frozen mummy of a steppe bison, an extinct bison found on steppes throughout Europe, Central Asia, Beringia, and North America, was found in the Yana-Indigirka Lowland in the Sakha Republic, Siberia.
A necropsy was performed to learn about how this animal lived and died at the end of the Ice Age.
It showed the animal had a relatively normal anatomy with no obvious cause of death.
However, the lack of fat around the abdomen of the animal suggests it may have died from starvation.
'This is a very rare find,' Dr Olga Potapova from the Mammoth Site of Hot Springs in South Dakota told.
'It is one out of three relatively complete steppe bison mummies that exist in the world, and it is the most complete out of those three.
'The body is in excellent condition. Normally, we find the mummies that are significantly damaged by predators in the past, or by modern arctic foxes and others, as soon as mummies are thawed out from the permafrost.
'Such processess happen very quickly, and a mummy that thaws out during summer may be gone in a few months forever.
Dr Potapova adds that the bison belongs to an extinct species that was found in the early Holocene epoch - 9,000 to 12,000 years ago.
She says there are very few records from species at the start of this epoch, known as the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary.
'This mummy gives us an opportunity to look beyond what for most of the paleontologists impossible to dream of - the opportunity to study genetics and morphology of preserved organs of this animal,' she said.
From the necropsy the scientists discovered that the brain appears to be complete, although it has shrunk to 36 per cent of its original volume.
However it had retained the bulbs, nerves and even medulla oblongata that once allowed the animal to think.
Organs in the throat such as the trachea appeared to be close to their normal sizes, as did the heart, blood vessels, stomach.
Some parts of the animal were significantly shrunk though, including the lungs, liver.
And, as mentioned, the lack of fat in the abdomen and neck suggested it died of starvation.
'The Yukagir bison mummy became the third find out of four now known complete mummies of this species discovered in the world, and one out of two adult specimens that are being kept preserved with internal organs and stored in frozen conditions,' said Dr Potapova in a separate statement.
'The next steps to be done include further examination of the bison's gross anatomy, and other detailed studies on its histology, parasites, and bones and teeth.
'We expect that the results of these studies will reveal not only the cause of death of this particular specimen, but also might shed light on the species behavior and causes of its extinction.'
Dr Evgeny Maschenkofrom the Palaeontological Institue in Moscow, added: 'The exclusively good preservation of the Yukagir bison mummy allows direct anatomical comparisons with modern species of Bison and cattle, as well as with extinct species of bison that were gone at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary.'
The creature was found perfectly preserved in July 2011 in the Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, where woolly mammoth remains have previously been found.
Its body became visible after part of the shore collapsed into the water.
'The discovery has an enormous value for scientists since it is the best preserved bison ever found,' said Dr Albert Protopopov, chief of the Mammoth Fauna Research Department of the Yakutian Academy of Sciences, back in March.
He told The Siberian Times: 'We have ascertained that the bison lived 9,000 years ago, at the very beginning of the Holocene epoch and died aged approximately four.
'By that time, many mammoths had died here, but the bison still lived.'
'The careful and thorough examination we have begun will give us answers to many questions, first of all as to why did the bison die out'.
Scientists from the Yakutian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Geology of Diamond and Precious Metals, Yakutsk Agricultural Research Institute and the Agricultural Academy of Yakutsk carried out the full anatomic necropsy , which involves removing and describing every organ as well as conducting microbiological and genetic tests and looking for parasites.

Woolly Mammoth 'Rush’ in Siberia The Result Of International Ban On Ivory Trade
According to a report by Gizmodo, following a ban on the international trade of ivory, dealers are turning to a surprisingly abundant alternative, the tusks of wooly mammoths long preserved in Siberian permafrost. A new AFP report highlights the burgeoning trade in mammoth tusks, which provides new job opportunities for people living in Yakutia, a remote region of northern Siberia. However, the boom in trade could also damage sensitive permafrost regions and further perpetuate the high demand for ivory. The primary concern is reportedly that the mammoth rush could lead to more intense prospecting in Yakutia, resulting in mining operations and other environmentally damaging activities.
