  Maslenitsa

  16.–22. feb.KarnevalTætpakket

  Pancake week before Orthodox Lent: blini at cafes and street stalls, and open-air fairs with folk music and games in the main square and city parks. It peaks on the Sunday, when a straw effigy of winter is usually burned. Kilde ↗

  Victory Day

  9. majNational helligdagLukningerTætpakket

  9 May is a public holiday marked in every city with a morning parade or wreath-laying in the centre, and usually fireworks after dark. Central streets close for hours and public transport is rerouted; security measures have scaled some events back in recent years. Kilde ↗

• Sæson

  Lena boat season

  1. jun. – 30. sep. · normaltSommersæsonen åbner

  The ferry restarts and the boats to the Lena Pillars run for about four months — the only way to reach the rock columns upstream, a full day each way. Everything on the river is timed against the freeze that ends it.

• Sæson

  Mosquito season

  5. jun. – 5. aug. · normaltInsekter & sygdom

  The thaw turns the permafrost surface into standing water and the taiga produces mosquitoes in clouds. Head nets are sold in supermarkets, not outdoor shops, which tells you what the summer is like away from the wind.

  Ysyakh

  18. jun. – 1. jul. · normaltStor festivalTætpakketBook tidligt

  The Sakha midsummer festival, held on a field outside town on the last weekend of June: kumys drunk from carved cups, circle dancing that runs all night, wrestling and horse racing. Tens of thousands come and beds are gone well ahead. Kilde ↗

• Lukning

  No crossing at freeze and break-up

  15. okt. – 10. dec. · normalt

  For several weeks each autumn, and again in May, the Lena carries loose ice: too broken for the ferry, too thin to drive on. The highway east simply stops, and hovercraft or a flight is the only way across. Kilde ↗

• Sæson

  Deep winter

  20. nov. – 5. mar. · normaltEkstrem kulde

  The coldest city of its size anywhere, built on permafrost with its buildings up on piles and its pipes above ground. Cars are left running outside shops, phones die in minutes, and the fog you see is the town's own breath.

Stadig i gang: No crossing at freeze and break-up (15. okt. – 10. dec. (normalt))

• Åbning

  Lena ice road

  15. dec. – 15. apr. · normaltIssæson

  There is no bridge over the Lena anywhere in Sakha, so once the ice is thick enough the river becomes the road and the trucks run supplies out over it. Driving on a marked lane across a kilometres-wide river is ordinary here. Kilde ↗

  The longest break of the Russian year: usually the first eight days of January or more are non-working. Offices, banks and many services close, while trains, flights and hotels fill with holidaying families at peak fares. Kilde ↗
