North Pole
Reaching 90 degrees north and the champagne celebration of reaching the North Pole aboard the most powerful icebreaker in the world!!
North Pole
The shore landings on the scenic and serene islands of Franz Josef Land were the most exciting components of the voyage. I felt like a real explorer, stepping foot on land that I knew few people have, or will ever have the opportunity to walk on.
