Verkhoyansk can do it. Let's start with the coldest and alcohol-free city in Yakutia - Verkhoyansk, then go to the village of Batagay, built by camp prisoners. From there we'll go to the sacred mountains of Kisilyakh - one of the most mysterious places in Yakutia. And we'll finish our trip with a jog and winter swimming in Yakutsk.
