Helicopter expedition to the North Pole

Expedition starts in Krasnoyarsk, in the capital of Siberia

When you arrive, we will meet you and take you to your hotel in a comfortable transfer.

The most important part of the trip is the expedition briefing, where you'll get to hear all about what to expect and what to do. You cannot skip it(or anything else, for that matter).

Evening

A unique Siberian gastronomic experience. It's an absolute fact that the best chefs in Siberia and the Far East study, live and work in Krasnoyarsk. Get ready for the culinary adventure of a lifetime, where you'll be treated to the finest venison, wild boar, nelma fish and grayling, all accompanied by an array of exquisite side dishes and sauces. You are going to love the traditional Siberian dishes that our chefs have given a modern, haute cuisine twist! You will need plenty of energy to enjoy everything the trip has to offer. That is why dinner will be both delicious and hearty – after all, we are going on a five-day trip!

Morning

After a hearty Siberian breakfast, we will be transferred to the Krasnoyarsk airport in comfort. A modern plane will be waiting to take you from Krasnoyarsk to Khatanga. The flight takes three and a half hours and will take you above the Arctic Circle.

Midday

Khatanga

The Taymyr Peninsula, the 400-year-old village of Khatanga, is an outpost of great geographical discoveries and legendary Arctic expeditions.

Evening

In the evening, you can enjoy a delicious dinner with a special Arctic flavour, and the warm atmosphere of the Arctic region.

Morning

Your morning in the Arctic will start with a big breakfast and a strong cup of coffee, and then you're off for a busy day – the Arctic is waiting for you!

Ice Camp

The expedition continues – an Antonov An-74 aircraft will take you to the airfield of the Ice Camp. On the way, we will stop on Bolshevik Island, which is part of the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. It is a beautiful place at 79 degrees north latitude. We promise plenty of cold air and beautiful scenery.

Midday

When you arrive at the Ice Camp, you will be met by your expedition leader, who will give you a briefing and show you around the Arctic modules. We will leave any extra luggage at the camp and head to the North Pole in a comfortable Mil Mi-8 helicopter. After taking endless selfies and photos, searching for the Earth's axis and surveying the seemingly endless ice fields, we enjoy a picnic at the top of the world.

0 km. We have reached the North Pole.

Evening

After returning to the Ice Camp to catch our breath, we head to a polar dinner where you will be awarded an official certificate confirming your arrival at the North Pole, as well as a commemorative expedition participant badge.

Morning

Polar breakfasts will make you feel like a polar explorer! The expedition leader will hold a short briefing. Afterwards, you can visit the northernmost shop to buy North Pole souvenirs, before watching the unique landing of an Antonov An-74 plane on the ice runway – trust me, it's an amazing view!

Midday

Bolshevik Island

We are now ready to travel from the Ice Camp to Khatanga. The journey to the Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago will take two and a half hours, where we will stop for a short time to refuel. There, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the icy landscapes and take photos in a harsh Arctic environment.

Evening

Khatanga

Upon arrival in Khatanga, you will enjoy a northern gastronomic dinner and have the chance to mingle, chat and share experiences.
