Underground Laboratory of the Institute of Cryogenics
Schedule and take the guided tour of the underground laboratory. The environment is a natural freezer, so bring very warm clothes. The lectures are in Russian, but the preserved exhibits speak for themselves.
12:29
Walk to Gurme for a business lunch. It is the best place to try traditional Yakutian delicacies. The portions are reasonably priced and the interior is nicely done.
13:59
Head to Kaban for a drink. It is a short walk from the previous stop, perfect for warming up after the cold tour and lunch.
Local tip
The museum requires advance scheduling. Gurme is open until 20:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time for lunch before the golden hour.
