65 Hours from the World’s Coldest City (–64°C) on a Sleeper Train | Yakutsk – Vladivostok

Hello from Russia! 🇷🇺 Today, we travel 65 hours from the world’s coldest city, Yakutsk, where we experienced –40°C (–40°F), all the way to Vladivostok. This is an extreme sleeper train journey across Russia. Our winter train journey is operated by the Yakutian Railway (ZhDYa) along the Amur–Yakutsk Mainline (AYaM), and for a stretch, we travel on the Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM). We ride in a third-class sleeper (Platzkart) from remote Siberia to the Russian Far East, where we connect with the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, experiencing some of the most epic rail travel in the world.
Enjoy the ride!

  1. -44 по Цельсию январь февраль 1997 го поселок Печенга Мурманская область.

  2. Буду рад смотреть путешествия из Мурманска до Махачкалы.😊👍

  3. Очень плохое отношение местных жителей к собакам, как к бродячим, так и к тем, что находятся в приютах. Они стреляют в них или травят ядом, а затем некоторые раненые собаки страдают на улицах, где медленно умирают в ужасных мучениях. Это позор для России.🤮

  4. Пока Якутия в составе рф планирование постройки моста так и будет только планироваться потому что срабатывает постоянно только одно и это планирование как украсть бабки на которые нужно построить мост Путинский воровской режим на протяжении двух с половиной десятков лет только и делает что планирует как больше украсть и как больше уничтожить коренных жителей регионов

  5. Who is ready to shift to Mars?
    An aeroTitanic on the way to…
    If you ain't afraid to enjoy cultivation on mars soil 🏀 yes it is possible under the sunshade of ultraviolet shield.
    Every traveler has to carry two buckets of water from earth.
    The condition project would be announced soon, after the target number reached.
    Note: no criminal record is compulsory.

  6. The sound on walking on a dry snow brings memories from my childhood in Finland 🙂

    Incidentally, i love those tea cups. They were often used in Finland as well, sometimes we drank tea with raspberry jam.

  7. Coldest i have experienced is 0 degrees Celsius on a cruise ship off the Antarctic Peninsula. Was there a Cafe/Shop on the train to buy food, or did you have to bring your own?

  8. Wow, 65 hours on a train from the coldest city in the world at –64°C! ❄🚂 That’s truly an epic journey.

  9. Riding from Yakutsk to Vladivostok in a sleeper train sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Amazing video.
