Expeditions are a special kind of recreation that suits those who dream of feeling like a discoverer of new lands. And even if the participants of tourist expeditions cannot be called pioneers in the full sense of the word, they manage to visit those parts of the country that they could only read about in geography textbooks before.
If it is important for you to spend a bright, unusual vacation, having received a portion of exotic and local flavor, or give your child an unusual vacation, take part in such a journey - incredible landscapes, new sensations and emotions await you. An expedition involves a trip or a hike of a group of tourists along a route that is as far away from civilization as possible.
Typically, travel in this category lasts at least a week. During the expedition, the participants get acquainted with the nature of the places along which the route passes, with the peoples living here, culture, traditions, and customs of the aborigines. Travelers gain the experience of survival in the complete absence of civilization.
On such trips, one has to forget about comfortable hotels, shops, restaurants. The kitchen on the way also does not abound in gourmet dishes. You will spend the night in your own tents, wash and swim in rivers and lakes. The program includes movement on difficult roads and paths.
But the expedition also gives a lot of advantages:
- Opportunity to get to know more remote regions of the Russian Federation.
- Gaining new knowledge and practical skills that will make you more confident in yourself.
- Enjoy the contact with nature untouched by man.
- > Complete detachment from the bustle of megalopolises (sometimes even the possibility of mobile communication disappears).
What directions do tour operators offer
Among the offers there are vouchers to a variety of destinations, and there is an opportunity to make expeditions even outside Russia. For example, cruise trips to Antarctica and the Falklands are offered. But most of the routes are laid in Russia, which has many places that are difficult for tourists to visit. This is Baikal, the harsh Chukotka, the Russian Arctic, the Putorana plateau, Kamchatka breathing with volcanoes and geysers, and the austere and cold Kolyma, which has long been chosen, but has many secrets. Travel can involve different modes of movement - boat, SUV, minivan, ATVs, snowmobiles, etc.
The group always travels accompanied by experienced instructors-guides who are responsible for the safety of each participant. Before the trip, everyone receives detailed instructions on the rules of conduct on the way, which they undertake to follow, as well as the instructions and commands of the instructor. Only in this case the journey will be successful and safe.
It is also important to take care of suitable equipment, in which you will be comfortable on the road or at rest. Clothing should be appropriate for the season, windproof and warm. Comfortable shoes with non-slip soles are a prerequisite for active tours... It is also necessary to have a first-aid kit with a stock of the most frequently demanded medicines - there will be no place to buy medicines during the trip.
And the final, perhaps the biggest note from the Great Arctic Expedition 2018
4. "Absolute happiness is achievable"
So that day came, that night when we were very close to our goal. There were 300 meters to the pole. We stood in one line. Taking the final steps together is the right thing to do. 3, 2, 1 ... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa And here we are at the North Pole, at the point where the magnetic needle of the compass does not point to the north, and the wind only blows from the south. The goal has been achieved, and the cherished dream has come true. Everything is even better than I imagined, it seems that I have even grown taller, everything trembles inside from the thought that I am standing at the point where all the meridians converged. You could look at it endlessly. Emotional outbursts were accompanied by endless discussions and stories. I never could have imagined that such different people in our team could become one. I am very accustomed to each member of the team and really do not want to part with them, I am grateful to them, and especially to the leaders of the Great Arctic Expedition - Matvey Shparo and Alexey Seikin! If not for their attention and care for each of the participants, we would not have succeeded. so
What can you do after that ??? Play football, put on animal costumes - kigurumi, drink warm hibiscus tea, experiment for the next expeditions. Kolya, for example, went to sleep in a sleigh. It was interesting for the future physicist to test this method on himself, and the next morning Kolya said that it was fully justified. It was even warmer than in the tent ...
Absolute happiness is attainable. And it is not only in being at the top of the world, but also in the company with which you did it, and in the hopes that this company instills in the common future.

The expedition is drawing to a close, and the students and their supervisors are completing their research. In this reportage, you will learn about the macro-danger from microplastics, about the ability to predict climatic changes using temporary tree rings, about where the debris comes from in the deserted Arctic, and how to tell journalists about all this.

While there are no landings, lectures on the topics of law in the Arctic, the geomagnetic field of the Earth, the history of the development of the North and South Poles are held in the bar from morning to evening ... Jacques Lanaret gave three lectures on the topic of effective learning and teaching. Since 2006 he has been Vice-Rector for Quality and Education, and since 2010 he has been working as a professor at the University of Lausanne. Jacques Lanaret's teaching philosophy is based on the idea of using neuropsychology in teaching.
