Yakutsk
Yakutsk is the capital city of Yakutia and one of the oldest and coldest cities of Siberia. Yakutsk has gained attention as potentially the coldest city in the world, but is worth a visit more for the great natural beauty of its surrounding countryside, unique cryogenic museums, and just for the spirit of adventure in the most remote lands of the world.
