The team of the Arctic stage of the international expedition "Cape Chelyuskin – Cape Piai" has reached the northernmost point of Eurasia – Cape Chelyuskin on Taimyr – and is already returning back, ttelegraf.ru reported.

The uniqueness of the trip is that for the first time the auto expedition reached the most inaccessible and northern point of Eurasia by one car – Toyota Land Cruiser Arctic Truck – without the support of other transport.

Recall that four Russian travelers started on March 8 from Yakutsk. The team drove through the Peaceful, Successful, Arctic Circle, along the Anabar winter park, through Khatanga, Middendorf Cave, Byrranga Mountains, Lake Taimyr.

On the way to Cape Chelyuskin the travelers shot more than four terabytes of video. A multi-part film about Taimyr and the Arctic will be mounted from it.

There are already three most extreme points of Eurasia in the travelers' piggy bank: Cape Roka in 2018, Cape Dezhnev in 2020 and now Cape Chelyuskin. Extreme athletes plan to go to Cape Piai in Malaysia in 2024.

And then the Russians will be the first in the world to reach all four extreme points of Eurasia by car. 

Earlier, the team set two world records in the Arctic. The first is the first time a stock car has reached 74 degrees north latitude on its own. The second is to reach the northernmost point of the Far East and Yakutia by car.
