00:01Meet Sergei, a resident of a remote and frosty village in Yakutia.
00:05Today, at minus 50 degrees Celsius, his first task is to warm his home with a wood-burning stove,
00:11which he must tend to at least three times a day in order to keep his house comfortable.
00:18In rural villages in Yakutia, where temperatures can plump to extreme lows, heating homes is a critical necessity.
00:25One of the most common methods is using a brick heating stoves, which are efficient at producing heat and can be filled with wood that is available locally.
00:37The brick wood stoves are typically placed at the center of the house to efficiently distribute heat throughout the entire home, preventing any loss.
00:47Additionally, Yakutian wooden houses are insulated between every log with moss and snow, which helps retain the heat inside.
00:54So even when the temperatures drop to minus 50 or minus 60 degrees Celsius outside, the interior of the house remains warm at around 25 degrees Celsius.
01:05Despite the extreme weather conditions, life goes on as usual in the village, with locals carrying out their regular activities, including work and school.
01:27Sergey is no exception, as he makes a 20-minute journey to work every day.
01:35Sergey works at the local coal heating system, which is another vital method used to keep the village warm.
01:42In fact, most administrative buildings in the area rely on this system for heating.
01:47The village has above-ground pipes, this is due to the frozen ground that never melts.
01:54To ensure that the pipes do not freeze during the harsh winter months, they are heavily insulated.
01:59Sergey's work starts early in the morning, where he inspects the coal-burning furnace, ensuring that it's running smoothly and effectively.
02:17Sergey closely monitors the heat output, regularly refilling the coal as needed to maintain a steady and consistent temperature throughout the village.
02:45Despite the availability of natural gas as an alternative fuel source, the village continues to rely on coal for heating, making it a popular option in region where it's mined locally.
03:02Yakutia is known for having vast reserves of high-quality coal, which has been used for heating and other purposes for centuries.
03:10This is due to a variety of factors, including the lack of infrastructure to transport and store natural gas and cost-effectiveness.
03:19After this, this is due to a large amount of coal being stored, it is empty in the village in consumptions, which is a small battery-dependent oil pump.
03:24The tide of water we require the oil pump.
03:29The others have구요 eat and eat into the water, they consist of everything in the water.
03:35You see, the people see the water on the water and the water and the water, and the water and the water are humid.
03:38The air and the water pump are in the water and the water and the water.
03:42If the temperature is low, the temperature is low.
03:54The temperature is low.
03:58The temperature will be low.
04:03But the temperature will be low.
04:12In the afternoons, Sergei made his round checking the pipes around the village.
04:16This task is crucial to ensure that the pipes remain functional and free from any damage caused by extreme cold.
04:42When I was in the afternoons, I was able to find the pipes around the village and I was able to find the pipes around the village.
05:00Sergei's dedication to his work is a testament to the communal spirits of the people of Yakutia's rural villages.
05:07Living in extreme cold requires an in-depth understanding of environment and the ability to adapt the challenging conditions.
05:15Despite the harsh weather, the people continue to lead fulfilling lives, relying on traditional heating methods and thriving in land of extreme cold.
05:37And as you can see we're a familiar with you, the people of Yakutia, who are also some of the influences that are being released at a home.
05:44I'mовор2A.
05:45I'm writing on that, though.
05:47I'm going to study this with some of our fellow researchers who are not being held properly this week with the building.
05:52Thank you, folks.
05:53Thank you, mate.
05:55Thank you so much.
05:59This, though, you can't get to see the patient's knife here.
