A hovercraft transportation in Yakutia

There about 5 months in year when natives in Yakutia use a hovercraft transportation through the Lena River.

  1. From the 15 th of October to the 05 th of January. After that period we use automobiles on ice road.

  2. From the 15 th of April to the 25 th of May. After that period we use speedboat and ferry.

A hovercraft transportation usually costs from 8 to 30 USD

Es increíble utilizan tres tipos de transporte según la estación del año @Filolgavlad , yo vivo en el sur Argentino en la Tierra del Fuego, pero no hace tanto frío como para llegar a esos extremos, no pensé que en esas latitudes norte fuese tan frío. nos podrías contar un poco mas sobre cuales son sus principales actividades, gracias por compartir.

Saludos Farid

@FaridTDF Thank you for your interest! Yes, it’s very cold there in winter, but at the same time it is hot in summer (30-35 degrees by Celsius). Our summer begins in June and lasts 2 months, from August to September it is autumn. From mid-October to February - winter, from March to May - spring. People usually ask me about how do you live there? As a child, you live and rejoice every day that you run through puddles in the spring, and in the winter you eat ice cream outside and ride sledges, and in the summer you bathe on the lake, in the fall you collect mushrooms and berries. You do not know what is different. And you love your place with all your soul. Yakutia is very large in its territory (the area is 3,083,523 square kilometers), but the population is only 966,997 people.

I am very glad that now we have the opportunity to communicate and learn about each other many new things.

@AdamGT Thank you for your interest and yourquestion!The price varies greatly because it depends on conditions. When there is even ice on the river, albeit not strong, the price will be $ 8. And when the ice begins to melt, the price will first be 15 dollars. And when the thaw and ice drift begins, the price will be 30 dollars.
