The top temperature during the day is minus 30 \u00b0C, but usually minus 35 \u00b0C. At night, after the fire in the stove has gone out, the floor temperature in our yurt drops to minus 22 \u00b0C and to minus 14 \u00b0C at table height. So it&#8217;s bitterly cold. Not good conditions for our technology, especially for the batteries. As the weather is now bad and the sun is often hidden behind dark, unpleasant-looking clouds, it remains extremely cold even during the day. As already mentioned, the power consumption of our replacement laptop is relatively high. Three of the four batteries are now flat. I have no idea how long we will be able to maintain reporting under these conditions. Previously, we had used a 12-volt light bulb as a light source in our yurt via solar power. To save energy, we now only work with candlelight. As we have often reported, it is extremely difficult to use cameras, notebooks, etc. under these really technophobic conditions. Above all, however, to gain the necessary energy for this. The days are also getting shorter. When the sun peaks through the clouds, it only rises at 9:23 and sets at 17:15. Apart from that, its orbit is relatively low above the horizon, which means that our solar panels can only capture a small amount of energy to feed the batteries. Another challenge for us to solve.<\/p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, our wood supply is also coming to an end. Ayush has not yet organized the second delivery of wood we paid for as promised. Tsendmaa reassures me from time to time. &#8220;My brother will be back from Ulan Bator soon. He&#8217;s the only one who can drive the Russian truck. When he gets there, he&#8217;ll take care of the wood. &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. You don&#8217;t have to freeze.&#8221; Your word in God&#8217;s ear, because minus 45 \u00b0C is no fun anymore.<\/p>\n\n<p>We look forward to your comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After another drop in temperature, the thermometer falls to minus 45 \u00b0C during the night.
