C

It’s winter here in Yakutsk. I’m sitting indoors and writing my blog because it’s too cold to go outside. It’s not snowing now. but I’m looking at the thermometer(温度计)outside, which says -34℃!

Yakutsk in Russia is the coldest town on the Earth. From November to March, the temperature hardly ever rises above zero. The average(平均的) daytime temperature is -30 ℃ and at night it sometimes falls as low as -60 ℃.

People don’t go out a lot here. At -20 ℃, the air turns to ice inside your nose. At -45 ℃, your glasses stick to your face! Recently, I have been learning how to play a popular sport. It’s a kind of jumping competition. It uses a lot of energy and keeps me warm and strong. I play it three times a week.

However, in summer, Yakutsk is a different city. The snow melts(融化)and the temperature rises to 30 ℃ and even higher, but people are usually happy to have a heatwave after ten months of winter. It’s the season of “the polar day” when it never gets dark, even at midnight. Camping and barbecues(烧烤) are popular summer activities. Our family members and I always have fun together. You can’t imagine how much I am looking forward to summer.
