⛄ Northeast Passage on Icebreaker (Северный морской путь на Капитан Хлебников)

This is a video documenting a voyage on the Russian icebreaker 'Kapitan Khlebnikov' across the icy Northeast Passage and beyond from Anadyr, Russia to Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

In total, 4,691 nautical miles (8,687 km) were covered over 23 days.
