The earth was round

"63 years old", no way to come to the North Pole ...
At the moment of the century, it was full of joy.
The national flags of both countries are raised and the national anthem is played, around the world ceremony,

holding hands around the North Pole.

"I'm standing on top of the earth" The clear ice melted vividly above.

"The earth is wonderful"

Crossing the border, both Russians and Japanese came together to enjoy the ice party.

The air is good. A world of dust-free ice. With this impression in mind, the North Pole is hard to leave.

The dream of reaching the North Pole is realized, and the journey to the unknown continues.
Boat trips have a profound meaning in the process and are somewhat similar to life.
The passion to continue traveling as we grow older may be the secret to our energy.


Emperor food tonight.
The main dish is the emperor's fish soup.
(Beef tongue, white fish, potato cream stew) The taste is rich but quite a gem.
Russian folk song while eating crepes with caviar.
A waitress folk costume that adds brilliance to dinner.
Also tonight, I'm likely to lose the temptation to exceed my appetite.

Return trip

Return trip. The sea where the sun rises and shines is so dazzling.
The sea of ice shines brightly and is a beautiful peppermint blue.
Clouds are reflected in the mirror-like sea without waves, the sun smiled for the first time.
Enchantedly looking from the boat window.
It's like a "spring sea".		 Arctic point
