I have a Polish friend of mine, Maciej Besta, who is a climber, mountain trekker, hiker and… student. Last summer he and his friend trekked the Chersky Range in Yakutia, Siberia/Russia. A great fellow, who loves expeditions at the unknown, less explored or off-beaten places.

In December of 2010, he was trekking across Deant du Geant Glacier. Take a look at the above picture. Great, isn’t it? Looks extremely cold and like a great challenge. My god, wish to do the same one day!

Just in a couple of month, Maciej completed the hiking expedition to Mount Narodnaya, the highest peak of the Ural Mountains, Russia.

There is an awesome Yakutian photographer, Masha Dubroskaya. Four years ago she started her journey of the life across South East Asia. She’s got beautiful travel pictures, many of them were published in popular travel magazines. She and her boyfriend Ajay have a blog TraveLiving.org, where, by the way, I found the above “snowy” video.
