Yakutsk, Regional capital in eastern Siberia, Russia
The city extends along the Lena River banks at 95 meters elevation, featuring wide streets lined with buildings raised on concrete pillars due to permafrost.
Russian Cossacks established a fortress named Lensky Ostrog in 1632, which developed into an administrative center for the eastern Siberian region.
The Sakha Academic Theater presents performances in the Yakut language, maintaining the traditions of indigenous performing arts from the Sakha Republic.
Transportation within the city relies on heated buses and taxis, while the airport connects Yakutsk with major Russian cities despite winter temperatures reaching -40°C.
The local outdoor fish market displays completely frozen fish standing upright, arranged in rows like planted vegetables throughout the winter months.
