About tour
"Arctic" is a truly mesmerizing word. We offer the very special format of adventure and a real way-out of the comfort zone in snowy and icy deserts.
For a few days you will become part of a united professional team conquered the Arctic year after year on the most difficult routes. We will navigate the route, gain an incredible set of vital skills, expand our perception of the world and work out interconnections guided by the famous polar explorer and the Russian Ministry of Defense in the Arctic expeditions leader. And the special pleasure is the opportunity to hunt the Northern lights.
The expedition passes through the harsh regions of the Far North of Russia - the territories of permafrost. We will go dog sledding through the snowy deserts of the Verkhnetulomsky reservoir, chasing the northern lights and perhaps will be lucky enough to meet the deer living in these places.
