Yacut is the place where the worlds permafrost mine is, the place where Chrome-Dioptide (Russian Emerald) is mined. Very little english information available on this place where people have lived for a very long time. Very interesting.

WOW! I live in Arizona, US and i can not imagine cold like this--although i HAVE been in cold weather and snow In New York, and Lebanon....its January right now and about 70 F, thats like 21 C, and in the summers it gets 100 F to 120 F at times (thats like 37 C-48C i think) If someone from Siberia and I had to switch i think we would both be in for a BIG shock!

Despite the other posters majoring in minor things, I found this a most enlightening read. I'm from the UK where we moan if the temperature gets to minus 1. This Xmas & New yr has been a wee bit frosty but now I realise I have nothing to complain about. Happy New Year to all.

It is the coldest place on earth that is PERMANENTLY INHABITED. There are alot of people on here who obviously cannot read. Almost every question asked can be answered with the article that is right above where you asked the damn question at.

Will all you bickering idiots take a good, hard look at all the spelling/grammar errors in all of these comments? When considering all the addiction to spell check, which isn't used properly in the first place, where should the finger truly point? Anybody fessing up?

This is the place that Palin can see from her house.

I live in Wyoming - you should hear the whining of the
people here when it gets cold. They should read this
article!

Cold here too. — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:30:32 -0000

Because it's "HOME". And their not pussies. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would want to live in SoCal, with wall to wall people, wild fires and all that crime. But that's just me.

It was -32F in Chicago yesterday.... and we thought it was COLD :)

note: Russia is actually on two continents Europe and Asia, so everything that is west of the Ural mountains is in Europe the rest is in Asia, thus Siberia is in Asia :) other than that thatnks for sharing this article - i had no problem with it ;)

p.s. to a coment about why people live there? why people live in boonies wisconsin or nebraska or wyoming or any other places? In some countries like china, people don't move around much - they need special permission from the government to do so, so they stay where they are born.

I am surprised why there are people who want to live in a cold -52C place.
Rusia is a big country, can they just move and find a better place to live somewhere?
I am curious, how do they live there? What do they do for living? What kind of jobs are available there? Is it worth?
Somebody, please help explain it to me.

Did you notice how short the men are? Frigid midgets with rigid digits and when they die they become rigid midgets with frigid digits! LOL! I noticed in the second report that the milk froze almost as fast as it came from the cow! They don't have to manufacture ice cream but then who the heck would eat it! And I thought our winters were cold here in Canada!

i'm russian and was born in siberia, -40C was a normal winter day there. schools still open. Why do people live there? Because they have no choice. You are born and raised there then follow in your parents foot steps (in most cases). There are not a lot of opportunities to move. Not enough money.

In general people in russia tend to live in the same city most of their life, often in their parents apartments. Not like in USA where you can get a job in San Diego and move there, then next year get a job in Alaska and move there.
