Polar Expeditions




1983. - Ski expedition in the team in Laptev sea (Arctic ocean). First polar expedition of Fedor Konyukhov

1986. – Ski expedition to the North Pole of Inaccessibility in the Arctic Ocean in Polar night. Team expedition.  

Remark: The North Pole of inaccessibility marks a location that is the most challenging to reach owing to its remoteness from geographical features which could provide access. The term is a geographic construct, not an actual physical phenomenon. Northern Pole of Inaccessibility (84°03 N 174°51 W). Located on the Arctic Ocean pack ice at a distance farthest from any land mass. It is 661 km from the North Pole, 1,453 km north of Barrow, Alaska, and equidistant from the closest landmasses, Ellesmere Island and Franz-Josef Land, 1,094 km away.Due to the constant motion of the pack ice, no permanent structure exists at the pole.
