Yakutsk, Siberia, Russia -- coldest city
Yakutsk is a Russian port city on the Lena River, in east Siberia. It’s home to the Mammoth Museum, with millennia-old fossils of woolly mammoths. The Melnikov Permafrost Institute Underground Laboratory has a tunnel showcasing fossils, including a mammoth calf, in below-freezing temperatures. The Yakut State Museum of History and Culture of the Northern Peoples houses Ice Age fossils, including mammoths and rhinos.

High on a frozen ridge, a single tree looks like it’s been pulled out of another planet—every branch swallowed by thick white ice, leaning in one direction as if the wind had frozen mid-gust. It’s not Photoshop. It’s rime ice. Rime forms when super-cold fog drifts through the air and every tiny droplet slams into a surface below freezing. Instead of melting, it instantly freezes on contact. Layer after layer, hour after hour, the wind keeps blasting from the same direction, stacking ice feathers along one side of the tree. The result? A living trunk buried inside what looks like a solid shard of crystal. No storm explosion, no dramatic snowfall—just patience, wind, and air so cold it can weld water straight into ice. Scenes like this only appear in some of the harshest places on Earth: exposed ridges, polar valleys, and Arctic passes where almost nothing soft survives. Yet right there in the middle of all that brutality, a single tree endures—bent, reshaped, but still standing. It’s a quiet reminder that sometimes the strangest, most otherworldly beauty is just physics, time, and survival working together in the cold. #Alaska #BrooksRange #RimeIce #EarthScience #NatureIsMetal #fblifestyle Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only, based on documented observations and scientific explanations of rime ice formation in polar and alpine environments.

Schaefer realized that he could use radar to measure the ground elevation at the start and end of the thaw. The electromagnetic waves that bounce back at those two times would have traveled slightly different distances. That difference would reveal the tiny shift in elevation over the seasons and would allow him to estimate how much water had thawed and refrozen in the active layer and how far below the surface the thaw had extended.
To start, the US has significant military infrastructure in Alaska: It’s home to six military bases and 49 National Guard posts, as well as 21 missile-detecting radar sites. Most are vulnerable to thaw now or in the near future, given that 85% of the state is on permafrost.
The NGA, which has also funded Schaefer’s work, did not respond to an initial request for comment but did later provide feedback for fact-checking. It removed an article on its website about Zwieback’s grant and its application to agency interests around the time that the current presidential administration began to ban mention of climate change in federal research. But the thawing earth is of keen concern.
Whereas it cost tens of thousands of dollars to fly in on a helicopter, drive in a car, and switch to a snowmobile to ultimately sample a small area using your hands, only to have to continue the work at home, the team needed just a few hundred dollars to run the algorithm on satellite data that was free and publicly available.
