Abandoned Arctic Cities and Brutal Weather: Exploring Chukotka

Friends, I’m traveling through Russia, and today I’m taking you to a place where not many foreigners are allowed. This is the farthest corner of Russia’s Far East – one of its most isolated and mysterious regions. It’s colder here than almost anywhere else, except maybe the Arctic! -25°C feels like -100°C, with wild snowstorms and roads that only all-terrain vehicles can handle! Despite these extreme conditions, the wages here are surprisingly high, and prices barely change. Welcome to Chukotka and the city of Anadyr – the snowy edge of the world!
