Russia is notorious for its brutally cold winters, with temperatures often plummeting to unfathomable lows. From the snow-encrusted landscapes of Siberia to the frosty streets of Moscow, the country’s harsh winter landscapes are a true marvel of nature. Here are some breathtaking photos that capture the essence of Russia’s extreme winters, guaranteed to send shivers down your spine and make you want to grab a blanket.
Babushka Dog Needs Some Extra Layers
Some dogs are better equipped for snow, and this dog is not one of them. It looks like a little Babushka in her snowsuit and blanket. It is good that it has boots to protect its sensitive little paws. We don’t know how any dog survives these harsh winters. Also, who let this dog walk outside alone? We can’t see her owner in this photo because she is so well camouflaged, and there is just a floating backpack and hat. She must be wondering where her human is and why they let her go for a walk in the cold alone.
Magical Light Pillars In Surgut
Is this something out of Star Wars, or did this really happen? This natural phenomenon occurred over Siberia, and the effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere or that comprise high-altitude clouds.
It’s like a bunch of alien spaceships sent beams of light down to abduct cows and people. Don’t get too close, or you might find yourself surrounded by green figures and think you are having a nightmare only to wake up on a distant planet.
