Living in the Kingdom of Permafrost, as the Republic of Sakha is known, is not for the faint-hearted.
The climate in Russia’s largest region, only slightly smaller than India, is unkind to humans (and animals) with its long freezing winters.
Snow covers its frozen grounds from October to May, and in winters many remote areas of this vast region are only accessible by driving on hard frozen rivers.
Schoolteacher Galina Davydova in Yakutia shows how her wet clothes freezes in seconds to turn into impressive ice sculptures.
Winters here usually plunge into the minus 60C.
‘Five years ago I told myself that a good teacher should be able to do anything, and I took online photography courses via WhatsApp’, Galina explains.
‘I am using a basic photo editing tool to crop and lighten the images, and am yet to study programmes like Photoshop which seems to be too complicated’.
Galina has been teaching children for 40 years in the village school of her native Tattinsky Ulus.
‘I love teaching children, and travelling about Yakutia to take pictures.
‘It’s great to get feedback from people who see my works on Instagram, even if it is critical - but it would be fair to say that whatever people say I would still continue taking pictures to share the beauty of my land, its people and animals.’
