In April-August of 2013, Fedor Konyukhov and Victor Simonov will undertake a unique expedition of crossing the Arctic expanse by dogsled. The uniqueness of the expedition is in the route itself. Fedor and Victor are planning to dog<\/a>sled from the North Pole and all the way down to the southern coast of Greenland (Narsarsuaq). During the four month expedition they will have to overcome four thousand kilometers of the drift-ice and Ice Cap of Greenland. This is one of the longest routes in the Arctic, which will become an extreme test of human possibilities for both explorers. <\/p>\n

One of the objectives of the expedition, in the run-up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi, is to draw the attention of International Olympic Committee to this sport. The goal is to see that dog sled racing is included in the Winter Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

The Republic of Karelia was intentionally chosen as the starting point for this expedition. Apart from being the \u201cRussian gates to the Arctic\u201d, the Republic of Karelia is actively developing mushing that is becoming one of the attractions in sport tourism in the region. Today Karelia is the only region in Russia, where the World Cup of dog-sled racing takes place, as well as the other major international competitions in this sport, both for the short and marathon distances. Thanks to its entertainment dog sled racing is gaining popularity and great interest among the athletes and spectators in Karelia, Russia, and its European neighbors. For the leg\u00a0 #1 – North Pole \u2013 North of Greenland expedition will have dogs raised in the kennels of the Republic of Karelia and trained specifically for this expedition. For the Greenland Ice Cap leg Fedor and Victor plan to use Greenlandic husky. <\/p>\n

Fedor Konyukhov and Victor Simonov started from North Pole on 06 April of 2013 under the auspices of the Russian Geographical Society and the government of the Republic of Karelia. The expedition is scheduled to finish in August of 2013 near Narsarsuaq. <\/p>\n

Due to the vast area of Greenland Ice Cap expedition needs to have 3 airplane (helicopter) resupplies. Therefore the route of the expedition in Greenland: <\/p>\n

Fiord Victoria. 81 degrees North and 50 degrees West. First resupply.<\/p>\n

Waypoint #1. \u00a073 degrees North.<\/p>\n

Waypoint #2. 66 degrees North.<\/p>\n

Finish. Expedition will be picked up by helicopters near Narsarsuaq \u2013 southernmost airport of Greenland. <\/p>\n

Expedition is not planning to visit any local settlement and aiming to stay on top of the Ice Cap of Greenland for the whole duration of the trip. \u00a0<\/p>\n

All this logistic and cooperation needs to be organized by Expedition Headquarter in Moscow (Russia). For better efficiency we plan to set up a temporary headquarter in settlement Tasilaq (Kulusuk) \u2013 which is on the east side of Greenland. For the period May \u2013June-July. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2 support team members Oscar Konyukhov (a son of Fedor Konyukhov) and Vladimir Zaytsev need to stay in East Greenland in order to organize all logistic accordingly. They need long term multi entry visas. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back in the 70s, the legendary Japanese adventurer Naomi Uemura defied northern latitudes and paved the route for his dogsled from the coast of Canada to the North Pole, and then back via Greenland. However, he was not able to complete his undertaking. After that, explorers from different countries (Norway, Italy, USA, and Denmark) were trying to conquer the Arctic ice by dog sledding. None of the expeditions succeeded. Fedor Konyukhov and Victor Simonov plan to dog sled the Naomi\u2019s route completely. <\/p>\n

This expedition should enhance the credibility of Russia as the Arctic state power. Also, it will contribute to the development of dog sledding as a sport which has already gained popularity in the Republic of Karelia. One of the main objectives of the expedition, in the run-up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi, is to draw the attention of the Russian Olympic Committee and International Olympic Committee to this sport. The goal is to see that dog sled racing is included in the Winter Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

The Republic of Karelia was intentionally chosen as the starting point for this expedition. Apart from being the \u201cRussian gates to the Arctic\u201d, the Republic of Karelia is actively developing mushing that is becoming one of the attractions in sport tourism in the region. Today Karelia is the only region in Russia, where the World Cup of dog-sled racing takes place, as well as the other major international competitions in this sport, both for the short and marathon distances. Thanks to its entertainment dog sled racing is gaining popularity and great interest among the athletes and spectators in Karelia, Russia, and its European neighbors. The expedition \u201cKarelia – North Pole – South of Greenland\u201d will only have dogs raised in the kennels of the Republic of Karelia and trained specifically for this expedition.<\/p>\n

Fedor and Victor plan to take off in April of 2013 under the auspices of the Russian Geographical Society and the government of the Republic of Karelia. The expedition is supported by Artur Chilingarov, a special representative for the Artica and Antarctica to the President of the Russian Federation. Mr. Chilinagrov is the vice-president of the Russian Geographical Society. <\/p>\n

The expedition is scheduled to finish in August of 2013. <\/p>\n
