On the second day, safari participants will travel by helicopter to the national park on the Gydansky Peninsula, where they will learn about polar bears and observe walruses, arctic foxes, seals, narwhals, fin whales, belugas and other northern animals and birds in natural conditions. 

Then the travelers will have fishing with the inhabitants of Shokalsky Island, a sauna, swimming in the Kara Sea and a meeting with a mammoth. Tourists will spend the night on the island. 

On the final day, a master class on bone carving will be held for the guests of Yamal. The tour organizers will present certificates of completion of the Arctic Safari to all participants.
