Day 7 - North Pole: we are at the top of the planet
On the approach to the pole, the captain slowly maneuvers the icebreaker's bulk to "put" the vessel at 90 ° N – the coordinates of the geographical North Pole. Hooray, we're on top of the world!
This is where all the meridians converge: wherever you look, the south is everywhere. Here the whole world will be at our feet – literally.
Take the shortest trip around the world – after all, it's enough to go around the 90° C point. Arrange the northernmost photo shoot on the planet against the backdrop of an icebreaker.
Take a dip in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. There will also be a polar barbecue and a northern sauna.
Day 8 - Exploring the islands of the Russian Arctic
These days we are exploring one of the most inaccessible regions of the Arctic – the Franz Josef Land archipelago.
The territory of Franz Josef Land belongs to the Russian Arctic National Park. Polar bears feel like their rightful owners on the vast expanses of the islands.
We can meet these "masters of the Arctic" anytime, anywhere. The polar day in these latitudes lasts 24 hours, which means we will have plenty of time to explore the unique wildlife of this region.
One of the most unusual places on Franz Josef Land is Champ Island, located in the very center of the archipelago.
It is famous for its spherical nodules — stones of almost perfectly round shape, in the center of which are sometimes found the remains of mollusk shells. Geologists are still arguing about the nature of the formation of this phenomenon.
In addition to its natural resources, Franz Josef Land holds the most fascinating pages of history. Experience the feelings that the heroes of the legendary story "The Two Captains" experienced.
Sedov died at the ZFI in an attempt to reach the North Pole. His grave can be seen on Rudolph Island.
Here, at Cape Flora of Northbrook Island, the surviving members of the St. Anna Brusilov expedition, navigator Albanov and sailor Konrad, found salvation.
Famous Norwegian travelers Nansen and Johansen spent 7 months at Cape Norway on Jackson Island after an unsuccessful attempt to conquer the North Pole.
And these are just a few pages from the history book of Franz Josef Land.
Tikhaya Bay is known for the well-preserved buildings of the first Soviet polar station. The base of the Russian Arctic National Park is also located here.
You will also have the opportunity to send a postcard to friends from the world's northernmost post office.

It's important to know

The expedition to the top of the planet has always been and remains one of the greatest achievements in the career of any traveler. The most amazing impression, of course, will remain in the memory of the day spent at the North Pole. After reaching the desired point of 90 degrees north latitude, the captain of the icebreaker chooses a suitable ice floe for disembarking passengers. The program includes a festive barbecue, the shortest trip around the world and a polar swim.

The cruise to the North Pole takes place on board the 50 Years of Victory. Two nuclear reactors provide the vessel with a capacity of up to 75,000 horsepower. You can literally feel the vibration that accompanies moving through the frozen ocean with your whole body, and the cracking of ice quickly becomes a familiar background for conversations and conversations. There is also a helicopter on board, which we use for sightseeing tours. This allows you to take a fresh look at the Arctic Ocean and observe the icebreaker in action.

In addition, passengers will have the opportunity to visit a unique Arctic archipelago – Franz Josef Land. These 192 islands witnessed the victories and defeats of the discoverers of the north and often served as a starting point for expeditions to the pole. Here you can feel the cold breath of polar history. You can also see polar bears, walruses, whales and the most unusual mountain landscapes.
