A truck drives along the Kolyma federal road through an area deformed by thawing permafrost outside the village of Churapcha in Sakha (Yakutia) Republic, Russia, September 5, 2021. Hills, pitted reliefs and lakes are typical in places where the permafrost has degraded, producing what is known as “thermokarst” terrain. Like cities and towns across northern and northeastern Russia, Churapcha is suffering the consequences of climate change thawing the permafrost on which everything is built.
