Around The World @ 90 Kts - Part 2

This is a convenient place to start another thread, since I was probably about to run into the total image limit for the first thread.

Editorial comment:
The team having reached Alaska, I can imagine the huge relief of no longer being in Siberia. I spent three weeks in Arctic Russia in 1991 and 1992. Although we were being hosted by a Russian oil company, it was still a very grim experience. We took emergency food and sleeping bags with us and some of the hotels we stayed in, were quite similar to the ones described above.

I find it hard to believe that they made it all that way, with minimal local support. A staggering achievement.
