Seeing the New Millennium in 90°N

At the turn for the new millennium the Murmansk Shipping Company, together with POSEIDON Russian Maritime Company and the Travellers Club chaired by Yuri Senkevich, are planning a cruise to the North Pole aboard the most powerful and modern ice-breaker, YAMAL. POLAR WORLD company has been granted an exclusive right to organize a programme of extreme actions within the framework of this expedition.

Paramotorist For the first time ever, balloonists, skydivers, paramotorists and scuba divers will be given a unique chance to have a magnificent celebration of seeing the third millennium in at the North Pole.

The ice-breaker technical features and performance characteristics enable the expedition participants to reach the zero point they crave for and to deliver their gear to the North Pole with virtually no limitations imposed.

The magnificent fiesta featuring balloons, skydiving out of Mi-8 helicopter, paramotoristsÒ flights and scuba diving under surface of the ice near the ice-breaker, combined with exciting and informative visit to the Land of Franz-Josef Archipelago becomes a reality!

Ice-breaker

We invite all our old friends proven in previous expeditions, as well as novices at the extreme actions carried out under polar conditions, to combine the things which previously have been regarded as incompatible - that is,

to soar up in the skies and dive beneath the ice-frozen surface of the ocean, while enjoy themselves under comfortable conditions provided by the world's largest ice-breaker.

We invite all those who like exotic journeys to visit the North Pole and to witness an astonishing show of extreme sports and actions performed at the top of the world.

This is a really fitting and proper finale to the polar expeditions of the outgoing millennium!
