Yakutia is not only a glacier "realm of permafrost", mammoths and diamonds. Here you can see sand dunes, a giant quarry and the famous Lena Pillars. You will learn even more interesting things about the Republic of Sakha at the RUSSIA EXPO.

The exposition of Yakutia turned out to be truly fabulous. Guests are greeted by a two-meter tall bogatyr Nyurgun Bootura from the Olonkho epic, and on the other side you can see Aal Luuk Mas. This is the world tree in Yakut mythology, which unites the world of gods, humans and dark forces.

Walking deeper into the stand, you can learn about Yakut legends and see artifacts of the Republic. A particularly powerful impression is made by Yakut jewelry and national costumes, with a huge amount of decoration and intricate details that can be gazed at endlessly.

Guests can also take part in masterclasses. For example, to make a souvenir of mammoth tusk as a memento of Yakutia and the RUSSIA EXPO. And also, everyone is welcome to have a photo shoot in national costumes. There are puzzles and games for young visitors. By the way, you can make unusual photos near the art object - a wall decorated with huge diamonds. After all, Yakutia is famous for precious stones.

If you look at the stand, you will definitely want to plan a trip to the mysterious Far Eastern region. To see glaciers and sand dunes with your own eyes, to walk in the Lena Pillars Park or to climb the observation deck of the Mir Kimberlite pipe.
