The Kolyma highway is the coldest road in the world

Yakutia is one of the most severe regions on Earth. And if you consider that often there is not a soul within a radius of five hundred kilometers, the danger for truck drivers increases significantly.

Despite the cold winters, this is the only season when it is possible to deliver goods to remote towns and cities. In the video from the channel "Discovery Channel Russia" you will see the features of this track.

Technology is under extreme stress. To ensure a power reserve of 3000 km, the total capacity of the tanks is 1900 liters. Cars are constantly serviced and prepared for frost in a special way.

The fact that the road goes through Oymyakonye, ​​the coldest place on the planet, adds to the complexity. But this is not the worst thing, because you have to overcome the Lena River on ice, go through the icy Verkhoyansk Range, and then there is the Zimnik, laid along mountain passes and riverbeds, where there is no road at all.

But this is only part of the difficulties that drivers face. Watch the video to learn more about this rugged track.
