The journey of Fyodor Konyukhov has come to an end. Its target was the North Pole, TASS reports. It took the traveler about 250 hours to reach the pole on a drifting ice floe. It was the first single drifting station in the summer season.

A stable ice floe was chosen for this trip, its area was 15 square meters, the height reached 1,5 meters. One of the most serious threats was a possible encounter with a polar bear, but it never happened.

The travele does not experience any health problems after the trip. During the expedition, he created seven artistic sketches.

Fedor Konyukhov visited the North Pole for the 6th time. The first time this happened more than 30 years ago, in 1988.
