If buildings touch the ground, the heat from inside would melt the permafrost, causing houses to sink, crack, or collapse. In this short video, see why Yakutsk’s unique stilt architecture is the only way to survive in such extreme cold — and how people live safely above frozen earth. #Yakutsk #ColdestCity #Permafrost #Russia #Siberia #ExtremeCold #UniqueArchitecture #WhyBuildingsOnStilts #VishalTandon #TravelShorts #ScienceFacts #EngineeringMarvel #ColdestPlaceOnEarth SUBSCRIBE : http://bit.ly/2Qstuqa Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishal_tandon/
