With the participation of Fyodor Konyukhov. An extreme and beautiful route in the Russian Arctic. A path of ten thousand kilometers through the harsh lands of the North. For the first time in modern history, the legendary route of Semyon Dezhnev, the great Russian Explorer of Northern and Eastern Siberia of the 17th century, was explored and filmed in a unique visual diary of hard-to-reach places that nobody had seen before. The most picturesque and inaccessible places in Russia, from Arkhangelsk to Chukotka, are now closer thanks to the film.

The documentary film “To the Arctic,” filmed by director and ethnographer Leonid Kruglov, is dedicated to the discoveries and research of the largest icy desert in the world. For the first time, the film captures all the most remote and inaccessible Arctic archipelagos of the Russian high-latitude Arctic, which are scattered over an area of more than 10,000 km. Among them are Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya, Ushakov Island and the New Siberian Islands archipelago, Wrangel Island and the De Long archipelago, as well as many other hidden corners of the North.
