Mikael Strandberg survives
Siber-r-r-r-ia -- the coldest place
on Earth!


In this documentary, in the form of an interactive map, you can zoom in on explorer Mikael Strandberg's 2004 Siberian expedition through the coldest place on Earth. Unlike most maps, this map enables you to digitally experience the expedition and zoom in close on each location while you read his reports online. Mr. Strandberg, who is considered one of the world's 50 most important and famous explorers by The Royal Geographical Society, was nice enough when I contacted him to assist me in creating the above interactive map. Thus, you can follow Mikael Srandberg's day-to-day adventures and read the words and thoughts from the team's journals I obtained from his Siberian Expedition web site.


Digitally walk this expedition in a Google Earth KML file.

for each location.
