Sibérie, royaume de tous les extrêmes !
A 6000 kilomètres de Paris, en Sibérie, la vie est très dure et la terre souvent ingrate. L’hiver la température peut descendre jusqu’à moins 63 degrés. La Sibérie a longtemps fait parler d’elle pour ses goulags… Et fascine pour son immensité, ses usines usines et son climat impitoyable. Une terre hostile qui représente 77% de la surface du pays et abrite seulement 27% de la population… Pendant l’hiver, les conditions de vie sont extrêmes, parfois inhumaines. La nuit polaire peut durer trois mois. Ce documentaire propose une immersion inédite sur cette terre glaciale aux côté de celles et ceux qui chaque jour s’adaptent et luttent contre le froid pour survivre. De Yakuskt, ville la plus froide du monde à Norilsk, ville fermée de Sibérie, nous avons parcouru plusieurs milliers de kilomètres pour aller à la rencontre de ces habitants de l’extrême. Pendant plusieurs mois, nous avons traversé à leurs côtés un hiver redoutable jusque dans les zones de Sibérie les plus mystérieuses et reculées. Notre caméra s’est tout d’abord arrêtée à Yakuskt. Véritable anomalie naturelle, cette ville est considérée par les météorologues comme le pôle du froid. Là-bas, l’hiver est glacial. Les habitants vivent chaque dans l’extrême Le froid est leur ennemi, il tue chaque année plus de 200 personnes. La Sibérie cache des territoires encore plus hostiles. Difficile de les trouver, on les appelle les villes interdites. Elles ne figuraient même pas sur les cartes soviétiques. Simplement désignées par un code postal, on en répertorie aujourd’hui une quarantaine en Sibérie. Les villes closes ont longtemps été gardées secrètes et leurs habitants avec. Machines à produire du gaz naturel et connues pour leurs extractions de minerais, ces villes usines étaient des boosters économiques inestimables pour la Russie. A une époque, ces villes étaient des goulags. Là-bas, pour celui qui rêvait d’une autre vie : seul la mort était une porte de sortie. Nous avons obtenu l’autorisation spéciale du FSB d’y pénétrer pour aller à la rencontre des habitants de Norilsk. Pas de route, ni de train pour y aller. Seul l’avion vous y emmène… Ici la neige est noire et l’air sent le souffre, nous sommes dans l’une des plus grandes villes minières du nord de la Sibérie, situé 340 kms au Nord du cercle polaire. Norilsk est connue pour être la 6 ème la plus polluée du monde. Pour la première fois, une caméra française a pu filmer ses habitants. Pour s’échapper à ces contrées inhospitalières et des hommes souvent violents sous l’effet de l’alcool, de plus en plus de jeunes fuient ces territoires extrêmes pour réussir une autre vie. Sous l’influence de leurs parents, ils quittent le domicile et s’inscrivent à l’université de Novossibirsk. Capitale de la Sibérie, cette ville offre une vie moderne et confortable à ses habitants. Ville de la réussite, elle est la promesse d’une autre vie pour la jeunesse de Sibérie. Depuis la capitale jusqu’aux territoires les plus hostiles, ce documentaire propose une immersion inédite en Sibérie, royaume de tous les extrêmes.

STRANGEST Places in Russia
FROM ABANDONED ISLANDS; TO MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT MAZES; THESE ARE THE 11 STRANGEST Places in Russia !
HEY YOU ! There are more awesome videos being made every week, like and subscribe to World Unearthed so you don't miss a beat !
11.Yamal Craters
During a routine trip, helicopter pilots spotted a mysterious hole, deep in the Siberian Permafrost. Before it was news, a second hole was reported... then a third.
At this point, it was not easy to dismiss the curious case of the sinkholes, craters, shafts, whatever you want to call them.
By February 2015, a total of seven craters were reported, and people wanted answers. The first official reports stated the craters were caused by explosive methane release, a process connected to global warming....
But other theories have surfaced as well. The holes were there the whole time, they were just covered by ice plugs, that ice melted and boom - there is a hole again. The methane in the area is typical.
Unfortunately, the 2nd theory doesn't explain the built up material around the hole, which is indicative of an explosion and not fast melting ice.
Both theories do have one thing in common, global warming, but that's a subject for a different video.
Stranger still, some internet detectives believe that the craters are the result of experimental plasma arc weapon technology....
10.Norilsk
9.Vottovaara Mountain
In 1978, a Russian adventurer stumbled across this mysterious and unsettling place. Even though it has grown in popularity, the mountain is still hard to access. There are no paved roads and nice tourist welcome centers that hand out visitor maps.
With stories of UFO landings, rituals of sacrifice, and eerie “stone pools”, the Vottovaara Mountain will surely be the subject of discoveries in the future. But for now, we only have stories.
The whole surrounding area is of special importance to the ancient Sami people, who have lived on these lands for 100s of years, and to this day, pagan believers visit the mountain in hopes of understanding it.
The dead trees give out the weirdest vibes, maybe they are the trapped souls of all those ancient people that were sacrificed here?
8.Bolshoi Zayatsky Island
7.Novaya Zemlya
6.Por-Bazhyn
5.Kizhi Island
Lots of weird little islands around Russia huh?
Kizhi island doesn’t have a grand mystery or unexplained history around it, it's just… different.
The big 22 dome church we see in these pictures was built in 1714 and has managed to stay strong to this day, with only minor repairs. At one point, the church was surrounded by a massive wall that served as protection from Polish and Swedish attacks.
The island is part of the Kizhi Open Air Museum, and anyone that is interested in the beautiful architecture, can visit around 90 different wooden structures. Pretty cool.
4.The Amber Room
3.Mir Mine
Another YouTube Certified ClickBait 3000, the mir mine. The Kimberlite Diamond Pipe “Peace” was one of the deepest open pit mines in the world, so big that helicopters are not allowed to fly over it because of the apparent “suction” by its sheer size and depth.
Well, not really. There isn’t any “suction” or staggering gravitational change, the real reason behind the no fly zone is the change of air temperature above the pit. The temperature difference can cause a deadly loss of lift that an inexperienced pilot can not recover from.
There is also the whole De Beers conspiracy… which is more fact than conspiracy really. The mining operation in Russia was so big that the De Beers Company, the main distributor of diamonds in the world, had to start buying most of the production from the Mir Mine, so they could still charge exorbitant prices for their diamonds… such nice people right ?
Screw it, lets look at some more mines, so we have the Mir Mine at
#4, then the Udachnaya Pipe at #3, at number #2 we have Chuquicamata in Chile; and at #1, the largest man made hole in the world, the Bingham Canyon Mine located in Utah. Needless to say, I’m making a mine video in the near future.
2.The Motherland Calls
1.Church of Andrew the Apostle on Vuoksi River
We have arrived at our final destination; the secluded Church found in the middle of a river. Believe it or not; the church is not 100s of years old, it was actually built in the year 2000.
The Church is open to anyone who is willing to make the trek across the river. If you are afraid of small boats; you can always wait for the winter, when the water around it freezes.
So did you know how many time zones Russia spans? The answer is 11, just for comparison, the continental US spans only 4 time zones.
Novosibirsk / Новосиби́рск - third-most populous city in Russia
Novosibirsk (Russian: Новосиби́рск) is the third-most populous city in Russia after Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is the most populous city in Asian Russia, with a population of 1,473,754 as of the 2010 Census. It is the administrative center of Novosibirsk Oblast as well as of the Siberian Federal District.
Novosibirsk, founded in 1893 at the future site of a Trans-Siberian Railway bridge crossing the great Siberian river of Ob, first was named Novonikolayevsk in honor both of Saint Nicholas and of the reigning Tsar Nicholas II.
At the time of the bridge's opening, Novonikolayevsk had a population of 7,800 people.
People from over eighty ethnicities and nationalities reside in Novosibirsk. The largest groups are Russian, German, Ukrainian, Tatar, Jewish, and Belarusian.

Redefining the Arctic culture: Russian perspectives
The Arctic is being de ned and re-de ned within the frameworks of industrialisation, securitisation and urbanisation.
During the session, we will travel between two emblematic Russian Arctic cities of Murmansk on the Kola Peninsula and Norilsk on the Taimyr Peninsula – delving into their current cultural strategies and futuristic visions. We will check the pulse of the northern cultural capital St. Petersburg and immerse into the depths of the Yakutian singing style, Toyuk.

It RAINED BLOOD in Siberia!
From mummies with strange juice in their tombs to bizarre blood red rain coming down in Sibera. Bizarre happenings and discovereies.
5.Ireland Stonehenge
The exhausting heatwave that has come to the British Isles brings a discovery in Ireland. A brand new Stonehenge was revealed as a result of the immense heat. Because of the ascending temperature thick grasses that hid the crop marks unveiled a whole array of settlements.
A photographer using a drone captured some photos of the new Stonehenge in Ireland, Newgrange, a tomb that was built 5000 years ago. In a radius of one and a half km, seven monuments were discovered, which is largest by density across the globe.
Roman ruins were discovered in Norfolk and Wales; a Victorian garden appeared once again in Lancashire. Airfields from World War 2 appeared in Cambridge and Hampshire. Scorching heat is yet to be over, and who knows what bizarre discoveries will bring us?
4. French Mastodon Skull
Southern France farmer hit the jackpot when he found a large part of a skull in 2016 on his estate, and for the most of the time, he left it hidden because it was unknown to him. In 2017 he made contact with experts in the Toulouse Natural History Museum and when they got to the sighting scientists were baffled. The That mastodon skull was first of its kind to be found from the species that are called in Latin- Gompotherium pyrenaicum. That species is extinct, and it also involves mammoths and elephants.
France has a lot of fossil sightings, but scientists didn’t have the luck, until recently. The skull is now complete, but before the revelation just four teeth of this mastodon, species were ever discovered. That happened approximately 60 km from Toulouse, in 1857, also on a local farm.
The skull is around 1.5 m long and weighs 600 kg with the plaster so it can be moved to a specified location. Skull's age varies from about 11-13 million years ago. The strange thing is that no traces of the body is found, only the skull. What species will the next discovery unveil?
3. Poisonous Books
The fatal book from Umberto Eco's novel „The Name of the Rose reportedly is now a matter of reality. Not one but three toxic books covered in arsenic were found in the region of Southern Denmark. The books originated from 16-17 the century covering a wide array of subjects.
Experts accidentally discovered the poisonous books, when they had an X-ray done on it’s contents. What the xrays unveiled was completely unexpected - the green paint from the books covers had a high concentration in arsenic. People covering the books in the green color was not a rare happening in the 19th century, since they realized long after that, that when ingested, arsenic is extremely poisonous.
Arsenic was used as a dye for dresses, stamps and it was considered safe, but that was proven otherwise obviously.
These books are set apart from each other, stored in individual boxes with labels marking their toxicity. Today, scientists want to make the text in digital form because it's complicated to handle them.
2. Elongated Paracas Skull
In 2014, researchers stumbled upon some elongated skull in Peru making it a fantastic revelation. Scientists did some DNA testing and came to a conclusion that these skulls have mitochondrial DNA. Experts determined they had mutations unknown to any species on the planet.
Another DNA testing was made, and the results are full of controversy just as the previous testing showing that the skulls have Middle Eastern and European descent aging around 2000 years.
This testing changed the history of how America first became populated.
1. Blood rain
Residents of Norilsk, Siberia were in a shock when on July 5th, 2018 blood-colored rain fell from the sky. Many people took footage and photos of what looked like a rain from Biblical plagues. A parking lot was full of reddish puddles and the cars had stains from the blood rain, it looked apocalyptic.
Blood rain’s coloration is actually caused by dust, that is picked and carried from long distances with the wind as a carrier. Probably, this rain was caused by Hurricane Irma in 2017 blowing the Saharan wind all the way to Siberia.
This phenomenon is rare but it was seen across some regions of Europe, occasionally not with blood red color but brown yellow. Some people say it’s not as dramatic as it seems, but the rain that looks like blood is falling down from the sky? You have to say it is pretty bizarre.
BEST MURMANSK Tour (MYPMAHCK TYP) (Budget Travel Russia) {Murmansk World's Largest Arctic City}
Budget Travel Russia #6
This best Murmansk tour by foot (MYPMAHCK TYP) gives a different perspective of Murmansk world's largest Arctic city.
As a port, Murmansk serves Russian commercial and naval interests for the country's Far North. This holds true today as it did when the nation was the Soviet Union, or USSR, thirty years ago before the end of the Cold War.
While Murmansk is suffering economically, the city possesses many monuments to its local and Soviet war history, including WWII, or the Great Patriotic War. These reminders are scattered throughout the area, including the 35-meter statue of Alyosha Defenders of the Arctic, during the Second World War.
Creating his own itinerary, Matt strolls from the railyards to the top of Murmansk for a comprehensive outlook of history, geography, economics and people watching on a brilliant Arctic summer's afternoon.
Follow along on this MYPMAHCK TYP and you should agree why this is the BEST Murmansk Tour Video.
