An 18-metre Russian yacht with a young girl for First Mate has made it all along the Arctic shortcut from Europe to East Asia.

The passage measured 12 and half thousand nautical miles, including 3 and a half thousand amid heavy ice.

 

The eight-member crew of the ‘Peter the First’ is into a fourth month of a circumpolar attempt.
