No. 4: The Siberian Road to Yakutsk, Russia

The Siberian road, or the Russian Federal Highway, links the Russian capital Moscow to the city of Yatusk. For approximately ten months of the year, during the Siberian winter, you will be driving through ice and heavy snow with much reduced visibility. But this is a walk in the park compared to how the road presents itself in the summertime. Because of the heavy rainfall and the fact that the road is completely unpaved, the Siberian road resembles more a mud slide rather than an adequate highway. And getting stuck in the mud is not even the worse that could happen. The area is frequented by the infamous Siberian mud pirates, who will not shy away from stealing your possession or even take your life.
