North Pole: At the Top of the World

Stand at the top of the Earth, where everywhere you look is south. Crush through multiyear ice on 50 Years of Victory, one of the most powerful nuclear icebreakers in the world. Sightsee by helicopter on the lookout for walruses, seals, whales, and polar bears, or take a tethered hot-air balloon ride at 90º North. Discover the unique flora and fauna of Franz Josef Land while walking the footsteps of early explorers.
