In March 2007, a few friends of mine, Yakutsk-based adventure cyclists, Marat, Maverick & Scorpion (don’t know why, but they call each others by nicks), traveled from Yakutsk to Oymyakon, the Pole of Cold. A funny thing. They documented the expedition pretty good. They’ve got a lot of high-resolution photographs, perfect videos and… Since the end of the travel they couldn’t find time to make a full report.

Recently Marat promised me to make his report with pictures. Time is passing, but he didn’t finish his text yet. Well… While he is trying to find spare time, I decided to create my own post using one of his photos and the video that was done by Maverick for friends’ fun and digged out in the archive occasionally and recently. Here is what we have by now.
The video shooting is fine, but singing is totally amateurish
Whatever!
When Marat will complete the report, I’ll share it for sure.
