Lenin Square
Площадь Ленина
Yakutsk's central square, ringed by a Lenin statue, the Sakha Theatre, and government buildings. Winter ice fog and ice sculptures give it a distinctive character.
Lenin Square is the heart of Yakutsk. It is surrounded by a statue of Lenin, the Olonkho Sakha Academic Theatre, and the government building of the Republic. In winter, a huge New Year fir tree and ice sculptures are set up here. When the temperature drops below -40°C, exhaust from cars and breath turn into drifting ice fog, which makes this a great place to photograph extreme cold. On summer white nights, the square is also pleasant for an evening stroll.
Open all day.
