Trip to the North Pole

And there I was on board the icebreaker, wiping off sweat after lifting 60 kilograms of my and Oleg’s equipment, and trying to understand where the hell I was. Russian icebreaker “50 Let Pobedy“ is a huge red-and-black monstrosity and one of the most modern and powerful ships in the world. It was built in 2007, but every line and detail tells you, “I was made in the Soviet Union.“ Frankly, it really makes a strong impression on you, and it becomes even stronger once you see this ship sail through ice. It breaks meter-thick ice floes as if they were eggshells! The most impressive thing is how fast it pushes through the ice floes. I couldn’t resist and took a video, which I usually don’t.
