Every spring in Yakutia, the Lena River turns from a frozen highway into a dangerous trap.
The official ice road is closed — but people still drive. Because they have no other choice.
There is no bridge. No railway. No year-round road.
This is the only connection to the "big land" — the mainland.
Medicines, food, help — everything crosses the river.
In this video, I take a taxi across the melting river to show you what it's really like.
From the driver's fears to deep water and cracking ice — this is spring in Yakutia.
🚗 Real voices, real roads, real risk.
