The History of the Youth
Expeditions.
The important and unprecedented
event in the world of the Arctic explorations took place on
March 14, 2008: the Russian flag was hoisted at the North
Pole in honour of the completing of the unprecedented and
heroic 84-day ski expedition during the polar night from the
shores of Russia to the North Pole. Matvey Shparo and Boris
Smolin passed one thousand kilometer way along the drifting
ice during the polar night.
In the course of their crossing the explorers suggested to
carry out the first in the world Youth Expedition "On
skis – to the North Pole!" from the Russian drifting
Station Barneo to the North Pole. Under support of the Ministry
