5 days on a train across Russia to the coldest city on earth, Yakutsk, Yakutia (Sakha Republic). An experience we will never forget, for being both tough, interesting, beautiful & scary in equal measure. Join us as we travel on the trans-siberian railway, east, across Siberia towards the Russian Far East, passing through the cities of Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude and Chita, as well as the beautiful Lake Baikal. Then turn north, on the Yakutsk-Amur line, built on the permafrost, towards Yakutsk, the worlds coldest city, in January!
A long train journey in 3rd class is like watching a constant conveyor belt of people getting on and off, heading both home and to work in various parts of the country. In our opinion, traveling on trains like this is one of the best ways you can travel and although incredibly tough, the landscapes you get to see and the people you get to meet make for memories you will never forget.

Could you travel like this for 5 days?! 😩❤️
Not without private sleeping quarters, and private means to get dressed. I'm not an exhibitionist. 😉
Can't wait to see the continuation. Great cliff-hanger. And, yes! I'd love to travel for 5 days on the Trans-Siberian, and on. Awesome video. Safe travels.
Din Suceava Romania mulțumim datorită lui Matt și Julia cunoscut realitatea din Siberia și să cum din Yacusc îmi imaginam acest locuri cu eschimoși îmbrăcați în piei și plini de burniță trăind în cort va mulțumim mult pt tot ce ne arătați
There is no way on Earth I could do that. The train is bad enough, but the cold would destroy me. And I like the cold! But cold to me is 0C or maybe -5C.
Also, odd question, what is it with Russian trains and drunk guys in the restaurant cars? Seen several vlogs now with the same situations.
I think I could a few years ago but not sure now unless I had private carriage ❤

When CZcams and internet itself just started I was thinking it will be a place where people exchange experience and information from all over the world, so lies would die out and become pointless.
Unfortunately, that's not what internet is nowadays.
But by seeing videos like this I still have a hope that social media and internet can be used for good.
Thank you so much Janis! That means the world, we are really trying 🙏🏼❤️
CZcams is a means of propaganda, especially anti-Russian
But CZcams is blocking the Russian truth
I see so many videos of people traveling lavishly but this is probably my favorite travel video I’ve seen. Not overly polished, just real. I love it.
not to mention they dont care about politics, traveling during dark times in russia/ukraine history.... even tho girl is from russia she neither supports russia, neither makes all that fuss like EU/usa does on media. love this aspect, we all brothers and sisters
being born and raised in rural Alaska in the 70s-80s, riding winter trains to remote places on several occasions, I can FEEL the cold!! LOL The snow squeaks make me a bit homesick, honestly.
I live near Grande Prairie AB and this is our winter. But we have no public transport. I admire Russia for having made public transport a priority.
gorgeous
So you're almost Russian!
@@szfehler How is it that there is no public transport? But how do you move around? Some have cars. What about those who don't have a car?
@@szfehler All "thanks" to Stalin's concentration camps, where several million men died building roads to the harshest place on Earth 🙄 While in the process, a man would drop dead from cold every other meter and many more innocent ones would lose their limbs to frostbite... All for the sake of reaching the natural resources and diamonds. Now the Russian oligarchs own half of London, live like kings, while the commonfolk of Yakutia and the rest of Russia live like a third world country.
We did the Trans Siberian from Moscow to Beijing in the winter too it was stunning. But we went first class, and it was certainly worth it from what we saw of the carriages like yours, I would have gone crazy with all that noise. From what I remember first class wasn’t that expensive but we had been living in the UK. We then took the trains in China to Shanghai and then Hong Kong before flying home to New Zealand, one of my best travelling memories ever.
This is what CZcams is for, absolutely brilliant video
Thank you so much! Means the world! ❤️🙏🏼
I agree. I like videos like this
You guys are real adventurers! I am a Siberian myself and I have traveled a bit and lived in Europe, the UK, Canada and the US, but I cannot imagine taking such a trip through the coldest and unfamiliar spaces. Your optimism is infectious))) Keep up the good work, and lots of luck with further journeys!
In reality, Russia is a country with some of the friendliest people in the world and no dangerous areas for walking. So, set aside any government propaganda and come explore Siberia.
At 4:16 you had the honor to see a very rare VL85 electric locomotive on Russian railways, which is operated only on one East Siberian Railway. In jargon, it is called a "Curve Rectifier" because its wheel arrangement and power (until 2000 it was the most powerful serial electric locomotive in the world) greatly affects the railway track.
I was surprised to see the steam engine
No mate, it's just coupled VL65, or EP1 locos
У него средняя телега имеет поперечную свободу перемещения, так что не парься, ничего он там не выпрямляет.
Hearing the crunch crunch crunch of the snow when you guys were on the platforms and at the end walking through the city brought back so many memories for me...I grew up in Novosibirsk and the winters there while not as harsh, were still Siberian winters haha. Didn't know how much I missed that sound!
And whyyy did you guys not get a kupé on at least one of the train legs 😂 you would have gotten so much more sleep than in the platzcart!
I loved when the guy showed you the magic trick, seems like you met a whole bunch of interesting characters on the cafe car. Lovely!
Being an Indian ( scorching heat for at least 6 months in a year), I always wonder what it is to be in the coldest place on earth..lovely video..good luck to you both for taking me there :)
You guys are craaaazyyyy!! That place looks beyond cold. And that journey was so long...Russia is clearly a huge place. Can't wait to see the city.
Can’t wait to share it Nix, gonna be a good one 🥶❤️

Thank you guys for taking us there ! I thought it was fascinating ! Like being in a Russian movie ! I wonder why we like seeing other people cope with hardships ? I always enjoy Julia’s giggle. She finds humor in the darkest (coldest) places.
Thank you so much Yvonne! Really appreciate it! 🥰❤️ Interesting right? We are the same, maybe it bonds us all somehow as people 🥲❤️
I agree with you /// today is my birthday brother
Presently sat in Cairns, North Queensland, and it's 7AM, 32 celsius, raining. Couldn't be further from your situation, but you make us feel like we're there - Absolute bloody champions, you two !!!
Also summer here in south Brazil, today was 37 C
Thank you so much Todd! Means a lot to feel like we have friends with us from all over 🥰❤️
This was such a fun trip to watch. I may never experience this in my whole life but through ur video, I got to experience it and thoroughly enjoyed it. What a vast untouched scary yet stunning part of our world. Greetings from Pakistan 💚♥
Grew up in Canada and winters in my hometown were just like this. Seeing you guys waddle around in your parkas and snow trousers, and hearing the snow crunching and squeaking under your boots brought back a lot of memories from childhood!
So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼❤️
I recognize the sound of the snow in this video! Vanderhoof, BC. December, 1971, walking home from a Christmas party at -52 farenheit. The snow made the exact same squeaking noise. So funny it made us laugh. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Bad Idea to laugh, though. There's a huge danger of freezing your lungs if you pull air in too quickly at -52. Likely I can't get away with tellling the funniest part of the story, though. Stopping for a P in a snowbank. Instant, 2' long icicle! Driving off the next morning nearly shook our teeth out. The car's tires had frozen in an eliptical shape. NOT round any more, and every revolution of the wheels shook the car like a jackhammer.
по фаренгейту... у нас по цельсию, ваши фаренгейты для слабаков... минус 52 )))
The countryside was so beautiful that I just sat here watching and cried!!! I will never get to travel like this, but I thank you so much for sharing your journey in such an amazing place! There are no words!❤
Thank you so much Lisa! Your comment honestly means the world to us! So over the moon we can bring you along and share these places with you 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
It’s depressing
то что вы видели это не сельская местность ,а сибирская тайга , большой лес в мире тянется от Тихого океана до Уральских гор
One reason i like CZcams you get too see much of the globe.
I too see the world and live through other peoples adventures, ever so sad isn’t it.. 😢❤
Thank you for dispelling any romantic notion about taking an extended train ride through Siberia in the dead of winter.
What amazes me is that trains out there can run quite happily at those temperatures with Ice and snow, However, here in the U.K. we’re knackered up when there’s a few autumn leaves on the line, or a bit of bloody rain!
I like to travel for several days by train in Russia, I miss these trips.
Yakutia is certainly cool, all microbes are frozen in the air😆
Greetings from Novosibirsk👋
So glad you enjoyed it Svetlana and we could bring back some memories! 🥰 Lots of love to Novosib! ❤️🙌🏼

@@SvetlanaVoikova всем! 😁
Yakutia must be especially cool during the winter.
It takes a lot of courage to step out of your comfort zone, to do what you are doing. I am really looking forward to more from the coldest place on earth, while I enjoy a lovely warm summer in New Zealand, thank you guys, great content
Thank you so much guys! Really appreciate it 🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼
20 years back, I took the train from Barnaul to Kazan with my Russian wife. We went "cabin class" and had a very comfortable sleeping cabin. My recollection of the toilet was less than pleasant - after a couple of hours it was awash!. I wanted to try travelling like a Russian kalhusnik and we took a small o/n trip, I think it was Izhevsk to Moscow and that was really different! Overall though, I enjoyed the experience and would do it all again.
I did this trip in January/February 1993 when I was a young traveller. My journey started in Singapore, through Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and China before travelling to Beijing from where I took a couple of local trains to Vladivostok where I picked up the Trans-Siberian to Moscow. I then took a train to Ostend, aferry to Ramsgate and a train up to London. Travelling in the winter wasn't too wise, particularly when changing trains as it was so cold hanging around on the platform or in unheated waiting rooms. The coldest temperature I experienced was -37c in Irkutsk. I had previously been naive enough to presume 'freezin' was about as low as it got. I was wrong.
I was spellbound watching this - the ice on Matt's eyelashes, the drive across the frozen river, what it was like to be on the train for 5 days. It constantly impresses me the extent of human ingenuity and truly, it is just a stroke of luck that everything worked and nothing broke down, it is the tightrope between comfort and literal survival! What I wonder is how could Yakutsk ever get built - the weather seems like it is never any less forbidding! I cannot thank you enough for taking us along. You are widening my world with each video and I appreciate you two so much!
Thank you so much Andrea! Your comment means the world to us! 🥰🙌🏼 Honestly so happy we could share this adventure with you and can’t wait to show you more from Yakutsk itself! ❄️❤️🥰
В Якутии не всегда холодно, там бывает и жарко.
Yakutsk could be easily built after waiting for just few months until the summer comes. It actually happens every year
My guess is that all of the buildings and houses were built during the summer months.
I would love to go again to Russia and see more places. what an amazing country. Thanks for sharing!!. Hugs from Argentina, the other end of the world 😃❤
So glad you enjoyed Agustina! 🥰 Lots of love to beautiful Argentina 😍❤️
Тебе жизни не хватит удивляться. Мне не хватило.

I'm so envious of you two... Best journey I did in Russia was 18 hours from Moscow to Yoshkar Ola via Kazan, a memorable journey!
I’m from Montreal and I could tell by the sound of their steps crunching the snow that it as way below -20c at22:41.
Wow!! What an epic out of this world journey, thanks for sharing it with us. Stay safe & warm guys!!🥶
Really appreciate the support 🥰❤️
Haha, I love rhe cool guy smoking at the first station holding back a small laugh when you told him where you were headed

Was in St Petersburg and Moscow January 2019 and loved every minute especially St. Petersburg…..went to Bettles in Alaska this January and the Temperature was -20…bloody cold. I would love to do the Trans Siberian train trip to Vladivostok….one day! So pleased I found this Julia and Matt. ❤️🇦🇺
I love Yakutia, amazing people, rich culture and wonderful landscapes.
Couldn’t agree more! ❤️🙌🏼
Those horses! Unbelievable to see them out on that frozen river!
They are so beautiful here! ❤️
Wow, what an epic trip! I don’t know if I could ever do it myself but I absolutely loved experiencing it through you guys! 🙏🏻🤗🥰
So glad you enjoyed it Lottie! 🙌🏼❤️
Would love to go to yakutsk one summer day (dislike cold, though it is beautiful). Great to hear that they built the railroad that far
Always found it fascinating that yakutsk has a zoo that is open 365 days a year
You guys are amazing! Thank you for taking us on your journey to a place we would never get to see or even know of - and you do it with such grace. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it Dianne!! 🙏🏼❤️
Я живу в городе Нерюнгри, вы выходили на вокзале в видео . Мой город самый южный город в республике. Летом кстати в Якутске жарко.

It's worth noting, that is not simply fog. It's ice fog... literally ice crystals suspended in the air.
Yes indeed 🙏🏼
шикарное путешествие. всю русскую экзотику показали. удачи
Wow wow wow absolutely amazing views and what a couple yous both are, so entertaining, so wholesome just lovely people keep living life to the fullest
I can literally hear how cold it is. Snow doesn't "crunch" under your feet unless the compression of of your weight doesn't melt it. It takes REAL cold to do that. Reminds me of growing up in Wisconsin in the USA. It gets cold there too.
Ohhh! We absolutely LOVE that sound 🥰❤️
Yup, right next door in Minnesota.. But, we can go even farther north. It can get to -50F° in Roseau, Minnesota.
@@guidosarduce4054 That's why I don't live there anymore. I live in eastern Europe where it's warmer and cheaper to live.

I wish to do this trip once in my lifetime.
All the best folks!

Thank you so much Max ❤️🙌🏼
The sound of the footsteps on crunching snow is wonderful. That sound and nose hairs sticking together is how you know it is really cold. Takes me back to my childhood in Michigan.
We LOVE that sound 😂❤️
The footage and editing is simply outstanding. There's nothing to add!
Kudos for braving this epic journey in a platzcart!
Thank you so much!! ❤️🙏🏼
As intense it was for you to experience this trip as intense it is to watch. Amazing insight and extreme conditions for you.

You research what exactly? Vaccine side effects?
@@phillipproussier3723
Molecular genetics and bioinformatics to be exact.
I study the genes that are responsible for tissue formation from early organoids.
Just see it this way; how is it possible that a single cell can turn into a full human (or animal) with complex tissues. What genes are turning on/off during development?
By understanding these genes from a molecular level maybe one day we can generate full functional organs in-vitro and fundamentally understand the formation of organs from single cells.
Interesting isn’t it? 🙂
(And don’t worry about vaccines, they do more good than harm. They can have side-effect depending on the medical condition of the patient, but the chances are very slim. After all, the point of a vaccine is to give the patient an inactivated virus that mimics the real one. But even the inactivated virus (particles) can sometimes heavily boost the immune system to point that the patient shows heavy reactions as if it received the real one (their body temperature increases due to their own hyperactive immune system). If the patient already has some medical conditions, their own hyperactive immunity can occasionally do them more harm than good. But in such case, the real virus will still do them more harm.

Amazing - definitely one of the most interesting travel vlogs I've watched and really makes me think of an adventure like this. I'm actually very jealous!! Looking forward to seeing Yakutsk!!
Thank you so much Neil! That means the world 🥰❤️
You two are amazing and brave travelers! The train ride had beautiful views. It is a fascinating trip. I can not even imagine those temps. I could not imagine people living there, driving there. It is mind blowing.
I agree completely! It would have been an adventure years ago, but now way too late to make this kind of a trip. But Siberia is one place I always dreamed of going to see for myself. I watched several videos on the winters in Yakutsk. Don't think I could handle it even for a 5 minute walk. You two really make interesting videos. As far as the train ride goes, I think using the toilet would be the most challenging part of the trip. I remember having to use public toilets in Japan and China. The worst was in Beijing in the late 90's. I literally had to pull my T-shirt over my nose to make it through the ordeal for a Number 1. Can't imagine if it had to be a Number 2. The smell was just like the elephant cage at the zoo, but only 10 times stronger.
Thank you so much Phylis! Can’t wait to share our videos from here in Yakutsk 🙏🏼❤️

Thanks for this very nice video. I have watched so many Trans-Siberian videos in preparation for a trip from Moscow to Beijing, but then came the pandemic and then the war. But I am still dreaming of it. And yes, Yakutsk is on my bucket list too. Enjoy your time out in the cold.
you two have such great energies! loved this and subscribed.
Greetings from Scotland! It was lovely to accompany you in this journey from my cosy bed! 😅 There are many places in the world where I would only go safely in my dreams! Thank you for sharing your adventures! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thank you so much! Can’t wait to share it 🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼
What a journey, I was spellbound! 🙄 Beautiful views from the train though, fascinating for me living in a warm country and never experience snowy landscapes. Your extended trek to visit the dining cart was hilarious! Your companions obviously had their own recipe to combat the boredom and cold; bunch of interesting characters indeed. That first glimpse of Yakutsk looked unreal; like a human colony on an alien ice planet... Scary to watch you drive in a bus across the river, makes my stomach turn! 😩 Looking forward to the Yakutsk videos, lots of love to both of you and keep warm! ❤️❤️

The snow crunch reminds me of a 3y assigmnent in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Imagine temperatures around -40 degree C in winter combined with one of the worst air polution from coal burning. But I loved Mongolia, a very unique country
We would love to visit soon too 😍
Ulan Bator is considered to be the coldest capital city in the world,getting down to 50 below centigrade.

I have taken trains in Russia, both with my wife and TDY, but my last visit was long ago, in 2007. I was in Novasibirsk once for TDY. The temperature was -30. I visited Vector, in the science city. Another time I was in Tomsk. That was in the summer. The university that we were visiting gave me a T-shirt, which I still have.
Thank you so much Gene, your comment means the world! 🙏🏼 So glad you enjoyed the video 🥰❤️
Wow! What an adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you so much Rich! 🙏🏼❤️
Thought i was watching an episode of Snowpiercer for a minute! Excellent video which made me appreciate my heated throw and glass of wine. Thanks for freezing your knackers off to bring us such great content once again.
Thank you so much Annie! So glad you enjoyed it! 🥶🥰❤️
I am so happy you can do this as a couple without children. I can't imagine doing this with a baby or toddlers. Enjoy this "special" time in your lives!
Indeed, it would be rather difficult with a child 🙂
Such a wonderful video! Thank you so much for taking us on your journey!! 💜
You are so welcome! 🥰🙏🏼
I think you are both totally crazy doing this. Can't wait to see the videos of the city. See you both soon.
Haha, thank you so much Sonia 🥰❤️
I am in awe of your stamina! I could almost feel the 🥶! But the beauty oh my just gorgeous and with the fog ! Amazingly gorgeous. The train ride looked like it was different! You both always make everything so fun! Can’t wait to see the city! Stay warm and safe ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Jo Ann! Really appreciate it 🥰❤️
Remarkable video. I have experienced-59c in Dawson City Yukon Canada. Ice fog too although if one walked 2km outside of Dawson you would get sunshine.
You two are true ambassadors. Opening up areas of the world for us. Particularly in such troubled times. Thank you so much. x
Thank you so much Russel! Really appreciate it! 🙏🏼❤️
