One of FAQs is “How to make it from Yakutsk to Chukotka overland?” Here is the living answer. Follow Moscovite’s 4wd expedition launched in the early March 2012 and about to complete by the end of the current month.

Their plan was to start the way from Vladivostok, reach Yakutsk and go through the Kolyma Highway to Magadan and back to South Siberia, precisely to Lake Baikal. Finally, reach Mongolia.
By the start of the “Three In A Truck” expedition, their team grew up to five people. Their last message also said their vehicle had gone to Vladivostok by ship already.
Ok. Let my words be enough. Let them introduce themselves.
