the tourists they're about to set out on an expedition full with many extreme challenges. the goal is to carve a way through untamed snow to a designated point in the arctic circle. will lay cope with the rigors of the journey and reach their destination. the small village of color valor is the starting point to the arduous extradition stretches along the bank of lake quito in the north of the republic of korea. early in the morning twenty people driving five dog teams and nine snowmobiles are ready to set off seasoned travelers and thirty sled dog huskies are joined by journalists and extreme tourism enthusiastic the snowmobiles will take the lead.

their task is to look for a convenient track and pave the way over deep snow dog teams then follow in their wake. today we have a difficult day today is the first day of the expedition so we need to learn to work together temperatures will drop to thirty below so will be difficult this is the. dog shy again and this is amadeus these two dogs are also experienced this is chinook and this is to measure. the gram cross on the shore of lake quito symbolizes the start of the expeditions first stage it serves as a good omen for those who have safely returned to from a journey across the lake and for those who are about to set off across is there for a reason as the lake has an ill reputation to give the legend has it that the lake takes sacrifices it doesn't in any particular here then it takes two or three

people in the following year you know. the trail winds through remote parts of korea's north the long history of this land is it a mystical or. the expeditions destination is a point in the arctic circle sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty nine seconds north of the equator it is situate. in the thick forests of the ancient land of popular ruled by a witch by the name of. cover the itinerary today is quite extreme we have a lot of difficulties to deal with too much snow and pools of water on the ice and with the low temperatures today our job or be easy and all.

great job guys nicely done. color vala was deliberately chosen as the expedition starting point. this village has special significance for both karelians ound friends. it was here more than a hundred years ago and finland's famous for a lot of just elyas learn root collected numerous ancient finnish poems known as rooms. of focus called color valor is based on them. most of the rooms reflected the everyday life of koreans and finns their joys and sorrows they also sang songs about their native land. drivers let their dogs have a rest each time they cover ten to fifteen kilometers but huskies are too

boisterous to stand still for long quite often they kick up a fuss urging their driver to get a move on. sled dogs are bred by the indigenous troops of north eastern siberia and the eskimos of alaska the word husky is a distortion of s.q. which is the word americans use to describe eskimos but huskies are distant relations of the wolf from time immemorial they have lived side by side with humans in the north. the distinguishing features of the husky speed exceptional and durrance the ability to cut a long distances without much effort and their devotion to humans their desire to always be on the move is in their blood. damaged a good voice came calling the expedition makes its first long stopover in here his salmi house the drilling and several al houses are in the midst of

a forest. and it's all right to fella the hermit lives here alone without the perks of modern life. the good thing about life here is that you don't have to worry about electricity or heating or being cut off i take water from a nice hole in the top far wood to keep me warm. is a finn by nationality and a russian citizen he is also a man of the forest as he calls himself he became a legendary figure in karelia in finland a long time ago. nicholai turned his life around when he was a young man a farewell to friends and family left his village home and settled down in the woods. were not so quiet here everything is clean and calm the forest is so beautiful especially now during sunset. in the summer there are a lot of people oh how slow and bustle i have already begun to forget all that. i

had been here for twenty years already. nicolo relies on subsistence farming like many others before him he hunts and fishes dogs are his best friends this guy likes being a hermit but he has not been completely alone throughout the twenty years of his life outside civilization. that's why has a philosophical view his lifestyle tourists come here to visit him and says no they can always count on help here. lol well hello. many make a point of going to his house to spend the night there rather than in a tent pitched on the snow. i brought you something to keep you connected i didn't want to lose it so i kept it in my pocket but it's a battery that's right and

a charger oh that's very good but dusk only the snowmobiles have reached out of his cell me the sled dog teams arrive later well into the night. early in the morning of the dog driver begins preparing his dog team for the next kasich he had been training his huskies for quite a long time before the expedition they had shown the best performance during the initial stages. of this is a special ordnance for joints we use it on the dogs before and after racing to prevent their limbs from aching and to make running easier. what these dog boots are designed to protect their paws from the ice. they look ridiculous but the dogs can't do without them shouldn't replace them i took them off for the night

to let them dry. each dog has its own character physical strength alone is not enough for a long run the driver needs to motivate his team to do their job as best they can. the dogs need to feel his affection. i love to pens and dog drivers they need to make sure they have full contact with their dogs is not right my beauty. thanks. meanwhile the expedition is heading north towards the arctic circle. hundreds of thousands of years ago this land just outside the arctic circle was rocked by earthquakes love us beauty out of ruptures in the earth's crust later to rain created by fiery elements became submerged in the thick of a vast classic. it didn't come else until the onset of the stone age when humans

first made their appearance here according to walk eulogists an anthropologist the rigorous climate kept the number of people in each tribe down to approximately thirty members those people led reclusive lives there was little contact between tribes. the centuries that have passed since then of course about little change the climate is still as unforgiving as ever few people ever in the small villages there are a few roads right here the root of the arctic circle expedition lies. we trade that way. life in villages in karelia as north is still almost the same as it was hundreds of years ago winter in these parts last long that brings in its wake lots of snow and freezing temperatures any true karelian needs a solid wooden house a fireplace and several objects made of bush tree bark in the old days it was used

to make all sorts of objects my kitchen utensils bags and shoes it was also used to make talismans to protect people from the witch lo here and the evil spirits servants did they made all sorts of toys for children out of birch bark one of them was called a sure cannot kids would play with it and it was also thought to be a charm that would ward off evil spirits bark is the top most layer off of the tree the northern people spend all their lives surrounded by things made of bush bark the ancient karelians even buried people rolling them in layers of the dark. one of the oldest villages in karelia is called soft. it is on the bank of the softening the river the waterway links to lakes it is famous for the fact that it is constantly changing flow at the most sought in the rivers links to large lakes any this place is unique because the river changes direction when it fills one of

the lakes the water flows into the other meaning when that one is filled to capacity it's flows back into the first lake. where. even in the twenty first century when many villages have tap water locals prefer to take it from rivers for their daily needs just as their fairytale ancestors on the color of allah folk at the day when the rivers are covered with ice of winter people make holes in it with the next. the water of creating lakes and rivers is so clean it is safe to drink straight from the source even the lowest temperatures can do nothing to cry the mountain streams the hills are not high they are almost entirely overcrowding with trees. from the good the region's highest point is over there beyond the horizon according to the caliber of folk epic that's where the old and vicious from which he lived the.

good girl go girl go mush mush great job guys nicely done. low he the which has given the expedition a frosty welcome bitter cold on a grey sky and developed in snow a shroud a recent snow for delays the joke seems. for your child and go. the time table is now in tatters. the slopes have to cover the distance to the next stopover over the snow. so it quickly lifted quickly we should of time.

this time expedition members set up camp in the forest they waste no time pitching tents and making a bonfire at night they hold an emergency meeting. and the ducks cannot do by such a room or there will be a mass of snow on the way to the arctic circle is user k. for the snowmobiles not the ducks who go slowly and who take a lot of time to cover the route. before they reach the arctic circle the expedition will spend two days going across mt norton near the highest mountain in karelia as north they will then pave their way across the ice of lake partly out of the largest lake in the region the weather forecast is not looking good freezing temperatures unpleasant. twenty years ago the largest country in. the surprises.

of. what had been a church. st gena germany. where did it take them. a moment when the world has changed forever. thousands passed to nothingness. thousands wounded. man doomed to suffer to the end of the land. it was the first but probably not the last unitarianism just weapons. commonly morning will be come. children come on get on in the future.

millions died here. and millions forward to be held and say. the pain and suffering will never be forgotten. as well as the joy of moderation. here a spring of nineteen forty five on our key. people riding in-joke sleds and snowmobiles cross the pony r.v. national park before they reach the arctic circle they will make a still photo on the shore of funny off a lake the expedition heading that is taking a shortcut. of the bad weather. expedition

members driving snowmobiles resolved to go across mt new warren it really is highest mountain a demanding route by all accounts according to the folks at big color voller this place is the gateway to the mysterious land of particular. the area is covered with thick forest of the kind you find only in sub-arctic regions pine trees and spruce is fare better than other plants on ice covered ground here the wind bring snow and cold weather from the arctic moisture and warm air from the atlantic this is why the foothill trees are topped with big caps of packed snow. in the old days locals praised mounds norrin and it's more than a symbol lashon has if the first inhabitants of this place feared it the mountain is a mass of european granite with droplets of quartz crystals

a beautiful sight but when i started training the mountain turned lots rent locals were scared by their unusual sight they thought they got to crime because people had done something wrong to amsterdam. local people who came out and i'm curious rooftop the expedition runs into a bale of snow school here people refer to it as the milk of low heat which. visibilities in the soft snow does not support the sort of eels nevertheless the expedition's cautious opponents decide to scramble to the mountains top. just by the priest blessing on the expedition the evil forces of paul hill are still managed to claim a sacrifice one of the snowmobiles has broken down. but. hello the steering wheel is broken near the base. that the

connection is entirely broken. oh right we fix it a little should be ok for now. another snowmobile toes the broken one back home the main convoy of snowmobiles heads for lake panic. they call most of the distance by going through the narrow strip that was once the old border between russia and finland. the own border barge of the lake almost into directly opposite the famous loose ski a collie or cliffs. the lake was formed by one hundred twenty eight meter deep take tonic fisher and the earth millions of years ago partly out of a is a word from the language that was spoken by laplanders who lived here many years ago the word means road. for a long time the lake served as

a link between the west and the east there was a time when convoys of dog sleds would take goods from sweden and finland to korea and russia over the lakes from the ice cave and this is where smugglers leased to stall contraband they would make arrangements for smuggling them across the border and there was two way traffic in those days people bought it things money played almost no role here most of the trade was done by exchange and gets you. one of the outposts of the national park is on the lake shore here the expedition will make its last october before a final thrust towards the arctic circle drivers rarely leave their dogs on attended during the stopovers huskies demonstrates a much higher degree of and jurors and people who. they're full of energy even after a long haul the hyperactive behavior often results in scuffles between teammates.

that that. place it. quiet muskies never attack people no matter whether they're people they know or strangers this is a remarkable distinguishing feature of the breed they show absolutely brilliance to the drivers they see the driver as the lead dog. yes sometimes they live behind but then this is not a race it's an expedition there isn't a right sweetie but sometimes we have to discipline them sometimes we have to be kind this one for example needs comforting. it is up to the driver to choose which one he wants to train for the role of lead dog a lead dog needs to be quick witted keen on hard work and have the ability to inspire other dogs with it zeal. in

the evening the expedition's dog drivers decide to hold a dog sled race special finish candles are used to mark out the route on the lake shore young women are entrusted with the job of driving miss let's. people use their voice to control dogs during the speed race they don't you stick so luscious a good lead dog has no difficulty carrying out orders by anyone commanding a sled. grangeville guys. good go go go go. season sled dogs are unlikely to stray from a straight line even if they're two this is especially the case as a short distance having passed the finish line they can keep running. good kid growing. another day of the arctic expedition is coming to an end.

in the morning drivers gather together to discuss an important matter they need to decide whether the dog teams will strive on towards the arctic circle we won't make it on time we have to generate a signal from this point before monday so we have to look and see if it's possible to even take the dogs this way. we should go here then by the lake to get there on time. with seventy kilometers still ahead of them the expedition decided to use snowmobiles to cover the remaining distance the dogs to save the trouble of crossing the harsh terrain. the arctic circle come across to different points around the globe the aim of the expedition is sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty nine seconds north of the

equator there is only one way to reach this geographical point any deviation from it will instantly change the figures. levels of wanting to receive the masses that we have been registered with we. don't like excuse me what does it mean it means we have done it and we are here never gauges pinpoint the right coordinates in a forest amidst a jle pine trees following a six hour marathon in snowmobiles the group checks their position within the arctic circle with a special satellite navigation device they're the first to come here but as to their coordinates. closer to is sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty seconds longitude is twenty nine degrees fifty three minutes and forty one seconds . the ray will made it last. if others make the same

journey later all they need to do is simply retrace the route taken by the pioneers before them. we finally done it it's great that we're here trying to argue that dogs are a match for hardware is pointless we must combine both dogs and emotion to the expedition's like dogs have lots of advantages those warm shady creatures would be showing their joy if they were here now of. course they wouldn't understand the meaning of what has happened but they would simply be jumping and showing their joy . the arctic circle.
