　　This popular zoo is some distance from Yakutsk, but it's well worth the trouble of getting out here if you're interested in the fascinatingly hardy fauna of Yakutia and Arctic Russia.

The unexpected (and unfortunately soundtrack-free) Khomus Museum has a collection showcasing international Jew’s harp heroes from present and past. Ask the welcoming staff for a demonstration. ...
