Eight hours' drive by car from Yakutsk, then we'll see Verkhoyansk, located on the Arctic Circle. There are 1,300 people living in these areas, and most of the work as a hunter or use the sledge to drive. Actually in this region there are a lot of gold, but it was too cold to open the mine. The place known as "Stalin's Death Ring" this can only be visited during winter, when the lake freezes. The lowest temperature in this town is minus 69 degrees Celsius.
