  • Super Girl is a red head! Wow, Eli, as I watched you bathing in the cold river I was shivering in my chair. Your Mongolia films are incredible. Well done and thank you for sharing with us around the world. You are one of the best travel video makers on YouTube.
  • As a Vietnamese 🇻🇳 Buddhist, I appreciate the great effort for Eli to go to such remote place in Mongolia 🇲🇳 in such extreme cold 🥶 weather, just to show us viewers the almost forgotten monastery. Eli, may Lord Buddha bless your travel journey whatever you go in Russia 🇷🇺 & elsewhere in the world🙏🙏
  • @paty_lnunes
    Eli, you just went EXTREME. I couldn´t believe how comfortable you were inside that water. Feeling cold just watching here from Brazil.
  • @duanehennon9415
    beautiful The best travel show on the web. Who else would bring a swim suit to Mongolia in the winter.
  • @juanalejandrogc
    One of the incredible thing about Elina is her capacity to do something new every time, and with a different touch; she was born to communicate.
  • @NoVista14
    Thank you Eli for your documentary from Mongolia 🇲🇳. I am really longing for your reportages.
  • @markbernier8947
    Eli continues to try to turn herself into an icecube --- It doesn't seem to hurt her --- I enjoy Eli's videos that show us distant places that I will probably never visit ))
  • @aizhongwen
    Strong healthy Eli, taking a bath in icey river. Fans would not survive this freezing cold. God bless you with perfect cold resistance.
  • @czamman
    I was really impressed when your guide walked into that river. Really impressed until Eli got in and stayed in, like it was a swimming pool. Thanks Eli
  • @BAROTIKI
    Eli is just a very special person : I have not seen anybody else granting us such interesting and enriching vlogs on Russia here on utube, period! Plus she puts great editing work in her uploads, the sounxtrack is always dope. OMG, I have such a crush on the woman... to cry for... tears of joy 🤗
  • @arletta100ify
    You "chilled" in the waters as if you were in a jacuzzi. Very hearty abilities, El's. 💯💙🏄‍♀
  • @Penza333

    6:23 The tent looks like a work of genius too. Modern technology for a quick set-up and takedown structure. In 1912 when my grandfather was doing surveyor work in Montana through the winter, it could get down to -50 Fahrenheit before wind chill. My grandmother said that to keep a household going and keep two babies alive, even with a heated stove tent, they had to keep quilt blankets for flooring about 8 inches thick.
  • @XteVision
    absolutely stunning. I love this format.
  • What ? -40 ? I can even imagine how cold is it . MONGOLIA ? I grow up in one of the hottest place on Earth ( Djibouti ) . Totally , where you are . Thank you , Eli . Sweet love from AFRICA .
  • @KawaTony1964
    For science nerds, this is an interesting point: -40° is the crossover point on the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales. So, -40° C = -40° F.
  • @jackieow
    13:22 The water isn't frozen over because it radiates and convects enough heat upward to melt any potential ice. This can happen at even -90 degrees Fahrenheit when water is flowing, like outdoors in nature or keeping a faucet on during the winter so pipes don't freeze. The trick is in the motion of the water and its carrying a supply of heat as it goes, as in 15:12 "there's a current." Without the current it would freeze over quickly. Lots of Jack London stories about the phenomenon, including what happens when snow appears to cover over a hole in the ice and an unsuspecting person stumbles through. See for instance "To Build a Fire" or watch the video version. It is possible this is near where a spring comes to the surface and starts flowing as a small creek, so it might be the leftover summer warmth of the planet that is coming to the surface in winter on top of the water being in motion. If so, the water would be about 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit where it first emerges. That's 10-13 degrees Centigrade or Celsius.
