Living in Chukotka | Surviving Extreme Cold in Russia's Frozen Land Facing America | 4K

Welcome to Travel Terra — a journey into the world's most fascinating places, unseen destinations, hidden islands, mysterious landscapes, and forgotten corners of Earth.

At Russia’s far eastern edge, Chukotka faces Alaska across the Bering Strait. Winter brings fierce winds, deep snow, and months of darkness in some communities. How do people build a life in a place so remote?

This 4K documentary explores Chukotka’s Arctic tundra, frozen coasts, and isolated villages, from Anadyr to communities along the Bering Sea. Discover how extreme weather shapes travel, work, food, and the traditions of Indigenous Chukchi and Siberian Yupik peoples.

Here, daily life demands adaptation. Families heat their homes through long winters, reindeer herders move across open tundra, and coastal residents rely on fishing and local knowledge. Limited roads and unpredictable weather make every supply trip important, while community ties help people navigate the challenges of the Arctic.

Beyond vast landscapes and striking cold, this is a closer look at the people who call Chukotka home—their routines, resilience, and connection to a place unlike anywhere else.
