It's so cold in Yukatia, which is in Siberia, that breath instantly freezes with a crackling noise that they call the whispering of the stars. On extremely cold days, the towns are covered in a fog caused by the breath of humans and animals.

In Yukatia, a region of Siberia known for its frigid temperatures, the cold is so severe that exhaled breath freezes immediately, creating a sound referred to as the "whispering of the stars." This peculiar phenomenon highlights the extreme weather conditions experienced in this area, where even the act of breathing produces a tangible effect on the environment.

On particularly chilly days, the air is filled with a dense fog produced by the breath of both people and animals. This fog further transforms the landscape, adding an ethereal quality to the towns as they are enveloped in a mist that underscores the harshness of the climate. The vivid imagery evokes the unique challenges and beauty of life in such an inhospitable yet captivating place.
