The Team.
The Competition for participation
in the Expedition to the North Pole was announced in December
2007. Schoolboys and girls at the age 15-18 years old (including
the orphans from the Children's houses and the students of
the Correction schools) were asked to answer the questions
of the application form and to think out a "Diary"
of the future Expedition. The Jury of the Competition received
more than 100 applications from the young adherents of skiing,
traveling and healthy mode of life. We formed the Youth Team
