In 1991, Quark Expeditions took the first-ever group of commercial travelers to the North Pole on a transit of the Northeast Passage. In the three decades since that first ground-breaking trip, Quark Expeditions has been at the forefront of polar exploration, taking thousands of travelers on polar expeditions to remote parts of the Arctic and Antarctic, where no one else has set foot.

This is the island in "Goldeneye" where the Surface and Bunker levels are set.

[JK-ujur]

I was here many times in the 90's. Even jumped off a dam with a parachute!

[Alternate-Anthems]

I'm surprised that you managed to find somewhere that James Bond attacked.

It is one of Earth’s least travelled areas. Along with 3 even further north. Franz Joseph, Nunuvut, Canada & Greenland.

How much will cost the trip and are you providing the equipment as clothing, tools etc? Where will be staying and from where we will start the trip (rendezvous point) as I live in Bulgaria?

Do you think you'll be running the 21 day tour next year? I'd love to go.

[ЛевНикодим]

هَٰذَا خَلْقُ اللَّهِ فَأَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ ۚ بَلِ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ

That place was used as test site for nuclear weapons in the 60's, the Tsar bomb was dropped there.

[accentedwanderer]

LoL can i bring drone to this trip since it is not antarctic anymore?

[stanx]

Zemlya, the accent falls on the second syllable

[kukuhiman]

MasyaAllah luasnya tempat yg tidak berpenghuni.. masyaallah luar biasa ciptaan Allah

[ProgaNz]

guess the best way for russians to explore unknown new lands was to drop Tsar bomba there

[mystiq]

Yeah except archipelago was known since 1552, when Hugh Willowby set foot on one of the islands. People lived there probably way way before, the stone labyrinth from cca. 2000years ago discovered on the southern island being an evidence. So your claim about this being the last discovered territory on the planet, discovered in 1913 is just a hype to get more customers or do you really not know what are you selling here??

[ЛевНикодим]

i want to go to novaya zemlya, not Severnaya Zemlya

[danielhernandez]

Dont forget severnaya zemlya was a nuke test site!

[videovoer]

These cruises are one of the reasons Severnaya Zemlya and other places are threatened by climate change. So why are you doing this?
