This unique laboratory is located under the building of the Permafrost Institute where the temperature remains constant at around 25º F. You will take an opportunity to go down underrate to see frost rocks whose age is 10 thousand years. You will find out many interesting facts: how people here adapt themselves for living in these hard conditions, how they build houses and engineering objects on Extreme North. Remains of ancient flora can be seen here: moss bushes and tree trunks aged thousands of years. Also you can see a copy of the famous mammoth baby "Dima," which is 39 thousand years old.
