In January 2018, social media was abuzz with a photo of a girl covered in snow while the outside temperature dropped to tens of degrees Celsius. The girl was Anastasia Gruzdeva, 25, and the photo was taken in Yakutsk in the winter. Yakutsk, a city in Western Siberia, is known as the coldest city in the world. In winter, the temperature here is only -40 degrees Celsius, the coldest day drops to about -64 degrees Celsius.
Right after the photo was posted, many people questioned what summer in the coldest land in the world would be like. Recently, Anastasia gave an answer when posting a photo of a walk in a flower field in Yakutsk in the summer.
In contrast to the scene of heavy snow everywhere, the summer in Yakutsk is quite peaceful with colorful flower fields. However, it is worth mentioning that this photo was taken by Anastasia when he was surrounded by dozens of mosquitoes. The 25-year-old girl shared that this was the moment she stopped to pick wild flowers for just a few seconds. "It was a terrible experience," Anastasia shared.
In fact, Yakutsk has a huge temperature difference between winter and summer. While Yakutsk winters are harsh due to cold, in the summer, the temperature here is usually above 30 degrees Celsius. But the summer months (June, July) are the ideal time for visitors to come here.
