The Kingdom of Permafrost, located in Yakutsk, Russia, is a stunning underground ice complex that offers a glimpse into a frozen world year-round. This marvel of natural refrigeration is situated within the bedrock of a hill near Yakutsk city. Formed within the permanently frozen soil known as permafrost, the kingdom showcases numerous ice sculptures, ice caves, galleries, and tunnels illuminated with colorful lights, creating a magical atmosphere. These ice creations depict various themes and stories, often influenced by the local Yakut culture and folklore. Visitors can explore the chilly halls adorned with crystal-clear ice and even attend special events or concerts in this sub-zero gallery. Despite the frigid temperatures outside, the Kingdom of Permafrost maintains its structure due to the consistently low temperatures of the permafrost layer. Warm clothing is recommended as inside temperatures can drop to -10°C even in summer. It's a unique testimony to the region's climate and is becoming a popular tourist destination.
