tourists they're about to set out on an expedition full with many extreme challenges. the goal is to come away to untamed snow to a designated point in the arctic circle. will they cope with the rigors of the journey and reach their destination. the small village of color valley is the starting point of 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 jobs seems a nine snowmobiles are ready to set off seasoned travelers and thirty sled dog huskies are joined by journalists and extreme tourism enthusiastic snowmobiles will take the lead. their task is to look for

a convenient track and pave the way over deep snow dr james then followed 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 cheyenne and this is our materials these two dogs are also experienced this is chinook and this is to measure. the ram cross on the shore of lake quito symbolizes the start of the expeditions first stage it serves as a good omen for those from of safely returned to color velour from a journey across the lake and for those who are about to set off the crosses there for a reason as the lake has an ill reputation begin to show that legend has it that the lake takes sacrifices it could doesn't in any particular here then it takes two or

three people in the following year. the trail winds through remote parts of korea's north the long history of this land is a mystical or. the expeditions destination as 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. the itinerary today is quite extreme but 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 won't be easy and all. the great job guys nicely done. color vala

was deliberately chosen as the expedition starting point. this village has special significance for both karelians and fins. it was here more than a hundred years ago and finland's famous for a lot of just las learn route collected numerous ancient finnish poems known as runes. a folk attic called skull of allah is based on them. most of the rooms reflect 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 were bred by the indigenous to keep of northeastern siberia and the eskimos of alaska the worst husky is a distortion of s.q. which is the word americans used to describe eskimos huskies are just in 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 cover long distances without much effort and their devotion to humans their desire to always be on the move is in their blood. they have a good voice came calling. the expedition makes its first dock over in his salmi house the dwelling and several al houses are in the midst of

a forest. nicholai two 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 an ice or a little chop far wood to keep warm. there is a fin by nationality and a russian citizen he is also a man of the forest as he calls himself he became a legendary figure karelia in finland a long time ago. nikolai turned his life around when he was a young man bade farewell to friends and family left his village home and settled down in the woods. but we're not so quiet here but 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. nicholai relies on subsistence farming like many others before him he hunts and fishes dogs are his best friends this guy likes being a hermit because 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 a. fellow 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. field 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 very good but dusk only the snowmobiles have reached his

sell me the sled dog teams arrive later well into the night. early in the morning. the dog driver begins preparing his dog team for the next passage he had been training his huskies for quite a long time before the expedition had shown the best performance during the initial stages. this is a special ordinance for joints we use it on the dogs before and after racing to prevent their limbs from making and to make running easier. these dog routes are designed to protect their paws from the ice. they look ridiculous but the dogs can't do without them you shouldn't replace them i took them off for

the night to let them dry. for. each dog has its own character physical strength alone is not enough for a long run 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 my 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 placid. it didn't come else until the onset of the stone age when schumann's

first made their appearance here according to archaeology samantha apologists the rigorous climate kept the number of people in each tribe down to approximately thirty members and 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 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 and 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 birch tree bark and the old days it was

used to make all sorts of objects a kitchen utensils bags and shoes it was also used to make talismans to protect people from the witch lo he and the evil spirit servants did they made all sorts of toys which children out of birch bark one of them was called sure cannot kids would play with it and it was also thought to be a charm that would ward off evil spirits and the park is the top most layer off of the tree the northern people spend all their lives surrounded by things made of birch bark the ancient karelians even beric people rolling them in layers of the bark. one of the oldest villages in karelia is called softball 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. younger rivers links to large lakes very this place is unique because the river changes direction when it fills

one of the lakes the water flows into the other and that one has failed to capacity if 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 i think did when the rivers are covered with ice and 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 bridle the mountain streams the hills are not high they are almost entirely overcalling with trees. from the region's highest point is over there beyond the horizon according to the caliber of folk epic that's really old and vicious which low he lived. a

good go go go go mush mush great job guys nicely done no. low he the which has given the expedition a frosty welcome bitter cold on a grey sky envelops ensnare a shroud a recent snow fall delays the dog teams. for your child and go. the timetable is now in tatters but. the slopes have to cover the distance to the next stopover over packed snow. quickly lifted quickly we should all 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 get to by such a route there will be a mass of snow on the way to the arctic circle is ok for the snowmobiles but the ducks will go slowly any school 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 can really is 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 the way.

the. last. people riding in dog sleds and snowmobiles will cost the pony r.v. national park before they reach the arctic circle they will make a stopover on the shore of honey on the lake the expedition heading that is taking a shortcut because of the bad weather.

expedition members driving snowmobiles resolved to go across from our new war and karelians 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. areas covered with thick forest of the kind you find only in sub-arctic regions pine trees and spruces fared 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 pretty small and snoring and it's more than a symbol lashon has it the person had a sense of this place feared it in the mountain is a mass of european granite with droplets of quartz crystals

a beautiful sight but whenever it started training the mountain turned last rent locals were scared by their unusual sight they thought they got a crime because people had done something wrong to anger them. local people. and i'm curious rooftop the expedition runs into a bale of snow. here people refer to it as the milk of low heat which. visibilities in the soft snow does not support the some of eels nevertheless expeditions participants decide to scramble to the mountains top. despite the priest blessing on the expedition the evil forces of still managed to claim a sacrifice one of the snowmobiles has broken down. below the steering wheel is broken near the base. that the

connection is entirely broken. all right with x. until it all should be ok for now. another snowmobile tows the broken one back the main convoy of snowmobiles heads for lake county. most of the distance by going through the narrow strip that was once the old border between russia and finland. the old border divided the lake almost into directly opposite the famous loose skin color cliffs. the lake was formed by one hundred twenty eight metre deep take tonics fischer and the earth millions of years ago partly out of a is a word from the language that was spoken by laplanders who lived in 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 and with ice is and this is where smugglers used to store contraband they would make arrangements for smuggling them across the border 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 exchanging goods. one of the outposts of the national park is on the lake shore near the expedition will make its last stop over before a final thrust towards the arctic circle drivers rarely leave their dogs on attended to in the stopovers cascades demonstrates a much higher degree of an jurors than people who. they are full of energy even after a long haul the hyperactive behavior often results in scuffles between teammates.

that. they sit. quiet he's 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 billions 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 carrying 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 how the ability to inspire other dogs with its zeal. in

the evening the expositions dog tribe has decided to hold a dog sled race a special finish candles are used to mark out the route on the lake shore young women are entrusted with the job of driving misled. people use their voice to control dogs during a speed race they don't you stick so lashes accordingly dog has no difficulty carrying out orders by anyone commanding the sled. gather from grangeville guys. good go go go go. season sled dogs are unlikely to stray from a straight line even if it's to 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.

early 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 and then by the lake to get there on time. with seventy kilometers still ahead of them the expedition decided to use name of eels to cover the remaining distance the dogs to save the trouble of crossing the harsh terrain. the arctic circle comes across to different points around the globe the end 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 kid graphical point any deviation from it will instantly change the figures thank. you for wanting to receive the nasa so that we have been registered. as the next excuse me what does it mean it means we have done it and we are here. navigators 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 are the first to come here and register their coordinates. leisure suit is sixty six degrees thirty three minutes and thirty seconds to launch it is twenty nine degrees fifty three minutes and forty one seconds. the raids were made at last. it's all

those 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 the dogs have lots of advantages those warm shady creatures would be showing their joy if they were here now out of course they wouldn't understand the meaning of what has happened what they would simply be jumping and showing their enjoy. the arctic circle.
