Weber and Misha Malakhov made the first unsupported expedition to
the North Pole from Canada. At the pole, they turned around and
skied all the way back - a feat not yet repeated. Richard and Misha

Vicaar |
|

Arctic Russia |
The Borneo icy
runway was first built in 1960 by Khatanga Air and has been
traditionally used for temporary scientific bases established on the
drifting ice near the Pole. In 1970, Vicaar began to work together
with Khatanga Air to outfit scientific expeditions in the high
Arctic. In 1992, the first commercial flight to the Pole was
organized by Vicaar. In November 2002, all top management people of
the Khatanga Air company were killed in a plane crash, and the task
to build the Borneo base went to Center Polius – the expedition’s
department of the “Association of Polarmen” of Russia with its
President Artur Chilingarov.
Center Polius established Russia’s first drifting station, ‘North
Pole-32,’ in April 2003, and is the only Russian company licensed to
build and use the icy runway on Borneo. Vicaar (including polar
skier veteran Victor Boyarsky) organizes logistics for the different
programs, such as skiing expeditions, sports events, scuba dives and
ballooning. The travel agent also establishes prices together with
International agents and operators.
