It might sound insane, but I love the COLD… Cold weather. Cold climate. Gorgeous angel-like snow. Fragile mighty ice. Unique northern peoples with their traditional way of living… That’s why this blog still exists… and hope, it will have further development 
Please, watch the above video slideshow presented by the Uummannaq Music project (the world’s northernmost moving music platform based at the Children’s Home in Uummannaq, Greenland, 590 kilometers north of the Artic Circle) and share Greenland kids’ JOY ABOUT COLD!
On my side, in the Siberian city of Yakutsk, it’s getting colder and colder. The previous night, on September 12, 2010, was already with -1C. In two days, we are promised to have -4C and even snow-n-rain by the end of the current week! Today I received a message from George Lessard, our Canadian friend, who informed about today’s first frost in Yellowknife!
So… it’s the right time to declare the start of the new Cold United season.
Plans? A lot!
We will follow major significant volunteer/non-governmental/ordinary people’s projects dedicated to cold regions like Polar Circle with Arctic, Siberia, Scandinavia, Greenland, Canada, Alaska… and, yeah, Antarctic. Like Uummannaq Music and other great ones listed on the Cold-Related Projects page.
We will try to keep sharing northern peoples’ experience of living in the cold condition. In my personal turn, I am eager to provide various information on how the life is going on in Yakutsk, the world’s coldest city and capital of the biggest Siberian/Russian region.
Stay tuned and feel free to let us know, what you would love to see on our blog. If you’ve got great cold-related initiatives or proposals, inform us via the Cold United contact form, our Facebook page or the Twitter account @ColdUnited.
Two Arctic/North Pole scientific expeditions. Take your time and enjoy the Arctic! This beauty is fragile. Climate changes and global warming, you know, do gain ground.
Video #1: Jean-Louis Etienne’s Generali Arctic Observer
A famous French Arctic explorer Jean-Louis Etienne’s The North Pole balloon crossing from Spitsbergen to Siberia’s Yakutia in April of 2010. Check out the Generali Arctic Observer expedition website. More info on his landing and rescue operation in Siberia’s Yakutia, north from the village of Batagai, Verkhoyansky region, at eYakutia.com.
Video #2: North Pole + Nuclear Icebreaker Yamal + Magic of Arctic Ice
From Russia’s Chukotka via the North Pole to Scandinavia by the Russian nuclear powered ice-breaker “Yamal”. You may also want to go to the North Pole. Hurry up! The Arctic is melting fast. It sounds like a joke, but, unfortunately, it is not.
If you can recommend more videos with the awesome Arctic views, please, share. Leave your links in comments.
