Expedition trophy

RBTH Executive Editor Artem Zagorodnov

On February 23rd, dozens of adventure enthusiasts will commence a 10,000-mile journey by jeep across Russia’s frozen wilderness. The off-roaders will scale Eurasia from Murmansk on the Arctic Sea to Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean in 15 days, roughly following the path of the world’s longest railway, the Trans-Siberian Express.

Fifteen teams will compete for the grand prize awarded to the fastest and most skilled at maneuvering their off-road vehicle across the tundra in subzero temperatures (and completing a dash across frozen Lake Baikal). RBTH Executive Editor Artem Zagorodnov will be on-site and en route to report. You can follow him here.
