Anastasia Gruzdeva (anastasiagav)
Last week I was reading an AP story titled, “Even the eyelashes freeze: Russia sees minus 88.6 degrees F.” The cover photo (Instagrammed below) is what made me click the story. I searched Instagram for the person (Anastasia Gruzdeva) who took the selfie, and sure enough I found her account.
Anastasia lives in Yakutsk, Russia, which is about 3,300 miles east of Moscow and one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth. I started looking at Anastasia’s feed as I found it so interesting to see what life is like in this part of the world, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s no wonder she has over 20,000 followers and—thanks to her now-famous photo—is growing them quickly.
