Located on the South West side of town in Khatanga was
this beautiful Russian Orthodox church.
This photo was taken just before Russia's Easter Celebration
which takes place on May 4th, celebrating, in Khatanga, the coming of warmer
weather.
This town has two months of summer and it sometimes
snows in these months. The temperatures in Khatanga, in the winter,
hit a whopping -90 degrees F. Yulia, the lady in the
store, told me that at these super cold temperatures you could actually
see the air near the ground. She said that you could see the swirls
of air moving and that the street lights shown straight up. I'm really
not sure what she meant about the street lights but it may be because the
super cold air, right next to the ground, may have some reflective properties. |
