Here, in the last great stronghold of civilization, the team spent more than 10 days. It was impossible otherwise, it was necessary to thoroughly prepare for the most difficult and problematic part of the entire super route, the "Arctic" stage. In Yellowknife, in particular, they bought a large amount of frozen fish, traditional for polar travel.
The team left Yellowknife on the morning of February 8th. After about 100 kilometers, the trees finally disappeared, the expedition came into the untouched tundra. There are no roads here anymore. They drove a little more and set up camp just in the middle of a snowy desert. This was the beginning of the second stage.

Greetings from the White Walkers group from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! This morning started with dancing and warm words. Next, we had a long but fascinating descent through the jungles of Kilimanjaro. We were very lucky to meet colobuses, monkeys that live only in these forests.
The long-awaited gala dinner ended with the presentation of medals and certificates in a romantic atmosphere under a starry sky and a bright bonfire flame. These moments will remain forever in the hearts of our participants! No one wanted it to end! And after that, we shared our impressions and made plans for the next mountains.
Guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Kristina Putintseva from Tanzania.
