00:00Hello everyone, Ruhi Sinez here.
00:02The temperature in the coldest city on the planet goes down to below negative 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:09I realized that the windows of our plane had already freezed before touchdown.
00:17Today the air temperature is negative 67 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:21I will conduct 8 experiments in this freezing cold from a subjective perspective.
00:26Can the liquid of an egg carry its shell?
00:28Or can the noodles hold a fork in the air?
00:31We set up a simple system to fix the fork as we could not hold it with our hands due to shaking from the cold.
00:38People cannot wear metal frame glasses here because the metal could stick to their skin.
00:43And if they wanted to take off their glasses, their flesh might be teared out.
00:47This is a piece of meat that looks very much like human flesh.
00:50I was wearing double gloves.
00:52I took off the larger one because I want to use my fingers and this glove has already started to freeze.
00:57My hands are very cold now.
01:03What we saw in a few minutes reminded us again that this place is an ice hell.
01:07Everything freezes here.
01:09Let's take it off now.
01:11Let's take it off now.
01:19You see it guys? Frozen solid noodles can hold the fork in the air.
01:23See that?
01:24See that?
01:25Alright.
01:26Alright.
01:27Whew.
01:28Whew.
01:29It looks unreal.
01:30Just imagine.
01:31You are taken off your glasses after every routine day.
01:40And the metal frame of your glasses kills your skin from a very vital point where there are plenty of veins.
01:52Just like this.
01:53It is incredibly cold.
01:54Beyond human nature.
01:55The ice on the sidewalks has to be broken and clean every hour.
01:58The statues on the streets are made of ice since they won't melt for months.
02:02People put carpets to the entrance of each building.
02:04to avoid falling on the slippery floor.
02:05There are usually three doors in the entrance of buildings.
02:06There are usually three doors in the entrance of buildings.
02:07in order to prevent cold weather from entering.
02:10the cold weather from entering.
02:12These are the two woods.
02:13the cold weather.
02:14Just like this.
02:15It is incredibly cold.
02:16Beyond human nature.
02:17The ice on the sidewalks has to be broken and clean every hour.
02:20The statues on the streets are made of ice since they won't melt for months.
02:25People put carpets to the entrance of each building.
02:28to avoid falling on the slippery floor.
02:30There are usually three doors in the entrance of buildings.
02:34in order to prevent cold weather from entering.
02:36entering doors are positioned diagonally in our hotel this is a place where schools don't get
02:42cancelled until the temperatures aren't below negative 58 degrees fahrenheit whereas in some
02:48of the other places in the world they are sometimes cancelled when it is around 32 degrees fahrenheit
02:54negative 50 is quite normal here children go out and play if it is around negative 20 degrees fahrenheit
03:00here that means spring has come for young people let's make a balloon experiment now
03:14how about freezing them and play bobbling with them later on
03:35how long does it take for this shirt to freeze completely let's wait and see since the shirt
03:42was wet my gloves also got wet and they are about to get frozen completely my fingers are hurting
03:48from the cold i guess i better not wear them but it is a bad idea to be without gloves bare hands start
03:54to hurt a lot in just 20 seconds and don't underestimate pain if i left my hands outside
04:00for 20 minutes i will completely lose them it is called frostbite my ear was swollen when it was
04:06left outside for only three minutes in the previous video my eyelashes are already frozen air temperature
04:18is around negative 67 degrees very tight yeah how to play bowling without spending any money as you can
04:25see i filled the balloons with water if i peel them i will get ice balls just like this
04:31i have also kept plastic bottles in the snow and now i got bobbling mix
04:53you see it guys
05:01can you believe it look at that is this real
05:24look at the hole and where i hit it
05:31yeah this is the situation which my gloves are in after the frozen t-shirt experiment
05:40this was my hands position while holding the bag gloves remain just like this when i was taking them
05:46off
05:49my fingers were in these gloves it doesn't ban at all
06:01it's frozen
06:11yeah it holds itself it is a regular bath towel can we make a sled out of this
06:28you see it is boiling water outside temperature is around negative 58 degrees fahrenheit the boiling
06:40water is about 212 degrees fahrenheit
06:45as you see it instantly turns into ice crystals the weather here is that cold and this is how our
06:52our uncovered body parts filled in a short time if you're not experienced enough you could lose your
06:58limbs here even if you think that you are careful walking from a place to another place is almost
07:04impossible here if you are 20 minute walking distance away to your destination it will take almost
07:10one hour for you to reach there as you will have to warm yourself approximately every five minutes
07:16people here usually get into banks or supermarkets while on a walk rest and then continue
07:22our sled is ready
07:36awesome i'll do it again
07:38i like the banana out for a while i think it got hardened like a hammer people here can even use frozen
07:57fruits as hammers when they need to so here's the proof you won't see this every day
08:08so speaking of frozen fruits and meats some yakut people keep one room in their house empty
08:18and don't heat it since the room is as cold as outside they use it as a large freezer that won't cost
08:24electricity as you see the first room of this house is the freezer room in the entrance one two three
08:39our bag got wet while doing the water experiment it only took like two minutes and this is already
08:45frozen solid look it was only a few drops of water i'll just carry it like this this is how everything
08:55freezes so yakutsk is the capital of the republic of saha total population in this city is around 300 000
09:04in the whole autonomous region it is around 1 million but only around 2 000 foreigners come here
09:11annually and they usually come for business the businesses are usually about the natural gas
09:17resources and the diamond mines of the region one of the most asked questions is what is it like to be
09:23here in the summer season the average daily temperatures in june july august are 61.5 67.1
09:3359.4 degrees fahrenheit respectively the daylight comes down to five hours in winter while the sun
09:40does not set for about 20 hours in june the thickness of the ice under my shoes is about 100 foot
09:47and this ice mass under the city does not melt even in the summer even when the temperatures are
09:53above 70 degrees fahrenheit this is called permafrost which stands for permanent frost there are two types
10:00of playlists on my channel for now the first one is called rediscovery which is a travel documentary
10:06series i go to unique places which are not known to many and make a documentary about them with a
10:12comprehensive approach the second one is about personal experiences such as this one where i look
10:19at the matters through a subjective perspective i would also like to thank my team for creating this
10:25project with me so see you in the next one
