Today, we-re going to visit Siberia and take a closer look at how temperatures there (and around the globe) impact the way cultures, communities, and landscapes form. Air temperature plays a much bigger role than just helping us decide what we-re going to wear everyday, it dictates the kind of foods we can grow, how we build our cities and roads, and the kinds of industries that can even exist in a location. And in a region like Siberia, where it can get cold, like REALLY COLD, the air temperature has had an incredible impact on life. But before we end this episode we-ll warm up with a visit to Phoenix, Arizona to talk about how they too have to make a lot of decisions due to the extreme heat of a city in the middle of the desert

I know Complexly has been doing land acknowledgements for a while, but it never fails to make me teary in a really good way. Miigwetch!
The crazy differences in temperature also happen in North America. Here in Winnipeg, it was -40C this morning, but in 5 months time it'll almost certainly be in the high 30s Celsius. When you grow up here you get used to teeth shattering cold in the winter, eyeball melting heat and humidity in the summer, and always the threat of a flood in the spring, because, floodplain. No need to go to Siberia!

Kvass is really exquisite, like a mix between beer and soda. Altough we cannot see the air around us, it's implications are truly fascinating, from our tiny cpu coolers to global moovements causing seasons, storms and hurricanes

I've had Kvass, but in St Petersburg, not Siberia. It's like beer, but less alcoholic and a has a bit more malt/bread flavour. I vaguely remember some sour and fermentation flavours, but it has been a long while.

This series is becoming my favorite. I really mean it. I found Geography in high school very boring, but this series sparked my interest in Geography.
Well done! To the production team, thanks

At around 3: 35, where there's the temperature chart, it's interesting that Montreal was chosen, since it is a very cold city, even amongst places of similar latitude.
reply

That Montreal Canada curve is not extreme enough, some years we can get -32 c in winter and 30c in summer, with out wind and humidity more like -28 to 28.

Using Fahrenheit without saying so. Maybe okish for Siberia is but when you talk US, the rest of world raises an eyebrow
