Winter starts from Yakutia! This is how a new travel project is called. What’s that? A good question.
Officials, who are responsible for tourism development in Russia’s Republic of Sakha-Yakutia, have been thinking over tricks of attracting tourists to Yakutia. They spent much time on that work. Indeed, it was a hard mission.
Yakutia is located pretty far away and, moreover, it’s huge and impossible to travel across in a short span of time and see all exotic things at once. What to do?
Thanks to Ajar Varlamov’s ability to walk his lovely Mariska laika dog in any cold winter weather, now you can see how local people prepare ice cubes on the Lena River tributary for their cattle to drink.
Winter pictures were taken by Ajar today’s early morning. The outdoor temp was -47C.
