    It was amazing that you reached 90N after all the stops, the thickness of the ice was really impressive and watching it break and open a way was almost hypnotic. I loved that people were allowed to take a dip in the Arctic, what a friendly atmosphere on board too. Seeing the polar bears in their natural home is something else. Neptune made the Yamal work to reach the top but helped in the end. So glad I was suggested this awesome vlog :>

    I wanted to do this trip so badly, having sailed around the Arctic several times to see a solar eclipse, northern lights and exploring Spitsbergen, reaching a point beyond 80 deg latitude. However these cruises are *very* expensive, the sailing alone costing £20,000 per person in 2016. By the time you factor in helicopter rides, trips to land at various islands, flights out and back etc etc. I just couldn’t do it. I was looking at Hurtigruten voyages, but they’d all be seriously expensive. I won’t give up hope though! Maybe one day …… I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the narration was excellent. Many thanks for making and showing such a brilliant programme!

    The remarks regarding leaving the port/ berth is an exciting event what lies ahead is truly correct. I was a seafear and sailed on ocean going vessels for about 15 years. During the time, I remember when ever there was arrival/ departure of ship, I would go on deck and watch her as being seeing for the first time. The charm and enjoyment of watching the event is truly remarkable. Having left the sea service for more than a decade, I often longed to see the event, but alas, I am far away from the sea. Thanks for such a good narration. Regards

She was built in 1989 for the Soviet Union in Finland, at the Helsinki Shipyard by Wärtsilä Marine, by order of the Murmansk Shipping Company. Her sister ship is Vaygach.".
      However Wärtsilä arctic design and research department was bought by Russia so I think that link is still there including a transfer of technology to Russia.

    I went to the North Pole on the Yamal in 2000--even more wonderful than even this excellent documentary can capture. We went on a charter flight from Helsinki to Svalbard where we boarded the Yamal which was launched off shore (We were ferried by Russian Helicopter on the Yamal off shore since Norway doesn't permit nuclear vessels in its ports). We returned by the same route in the documentary to Murmansk , bypassing the Kursk which had just sank in the Barents sea. Fabulous trip.

    So...?
    During the safety talk from 6:00 onwards..
    We are told NO life jackets, but rather special (full body suits) orange protections that you can wear ordinary shoes inside .. will require you to get assistance to get into..
    Two men will be there to help do this..
    BUT - those two men at the departure area who are there to assist all others don their wetsuit/protections ..
    Wondering why just TWO, as it would take MORE than two at the final minutes (after everyone else is suited up and aboard the life rafts) for the LAST TWO, to assist each other don their own protective suits - or would those last two just be like - flip a coin to see who doesn't get suited.. to become collateral damage for the sinking?

    The way you put immersion suit is to put on each foot plastic bag, to ease inserting the feet with shoes on. Next you Sit down and put your legs. You don’t put immersion suit by standing up. That’s in case ship rolls. This is from an American Quartermaster. Last time I was in the North Pole was in 1980.

    Having served in our Coast Guard, I was stationed on the Polar Star, one of only 2 US Polar class ice breakers. I've been to the North pole region 3 times and loved going each time. Even got to go on a Russian icebreaker that was conducting scientific research as well. The crew on that breaker were so friendly and they loved Americans. The polar region, as cold as it is, is beautiful and so wild. I can't Express how loud it is when breaking through multi generational ice and the beauty of that thick ice. BTW, when you see the ship shake, that is those chunks of ice hitting the blades on the propellers. Even the 3rd time there, I was just excited as the 1st. And to be able to assist in some of the 1st serious global warming studies in the polar region. Memories I will never forget!! Brings back great memories. VERY EXCITING.
