Expedition to the Russian Arctic by a cargo plane

Khatanga is a town located in the very North of the Krasnoyarsk region, and it is one of the main bases in the Russian Arctic. There’s a seaport on the Khatanga river which flows into the Laptev sea, and only this port has vessels capable of passing through the most difficult areas of the Arctic Ocean. Also, Khatanga is about to become a base for the flights to the North Pole. It's time to clean up this town and its coast from the Soviet 'heritage'!

many thanks for sharing beautiful Russia and yourself

[@mossfloss]

This place reminds me of the Kakhovka Dam region near Kherson. It used to be a beautiful place of fertile farmland. Then the Russians showed up, blew up the dam, destroyed the the villages, and poisoned the countryside. Now it looks just like this (the garbage pile I mean), except way more corpses.

[@MZG1992]

So beautiful

[@mossfloss]

@@jrmc732 Don't worry, that garbage didn't go anywhere. The video is purely soft propaganda paid for by the Kremlin. These people are paid to make propaganda. They did not fly in a jet thousands of miles to pick up some random bits of metal and glass. Obviously Shoigu is not paying for that. The whole thing is a show to soften western minds.

[@dgahmed1]

Really beautiful and amazing. I had been to ex USSR from 1975 till 1982 to take training in Maritime Navigation. A Navigation Cadet Officer in Murmansk High Marine Engineering School which is Murmansk State Technical University now, I had opportunity to spend 2 months in a remote Arctic place called Tuba Guba. With great respect and love, I remember most hospitable people of Russia. Still I have my mind bound with Great Russia. Thank you so much Eli for this beautiful presentation.

[@jurajkovacik2430]

[@paolodenis5898]

W E S T E R N E R S B E C A R E F U L ! Always remember all the blackmail received, price increases, provocations and Russian threats. In authoritarian and fascist Russia, the state invests huge amounts of money in creating non-political or highly patriotic content to distract people. Distracting content aims to build a certain worldview and demobilise people from dissent.

[@mayflowerlash11]

Hi Eli, it's great to see young people in Russia who appreciate nature and are willing to make an effort to clean up the waste. It's hard work and I think you can see the scale of it. With persistence you will prevail. Your positivity does you credit.

And they need to be careful to not poison themselves with chemical exposure or radioactive contamination.

[@rogink]

@@jackieow Yes. Stalin would have got convicts from the Gulag to do such dirty work!

[@jackieow]

And he would have made more convicts since he was so good at such efforts. One of his labor camps was on the Arctic Ocean in the Far East, and the wave behavior at the shore was exactly the same as the waves Eli shows us here.@@rogink

[@mossfloss]

These people are the same as the instagram "influencers" who go film themselves picking up garbage on the beach, and then throw the garbage back on the beach once they've made their video. The difference is the Kremlin provides travel and lodging for these actors.

What a brilliant episode. The Russian Geographic Society and all the people involved in this are doing such work, not only does it benefit them to have soil samples etc, but it helps the community in the Russian Artic, environmentally but also economically. I think the whole world should partake in cleaning up their own countries mess of the environment surround them. Thanks for this Elli - from Elli in Scotland x

[@mossfloss]

You think the Russian MOD is going to send a precious transport plane thousands of KM up to the artic with a tiny party to pick up scraps of glass and metal when all those tons of garbage have been ignored for decades and that this isn't just a publicity stunt/soft propaganda? Russia does not give a damn about that garbage obviously. It's plainly soft propaganda aimed at gullible westerners. RGS is another propaganda instrument of the Kremlin, under Shoigu.

[@dfg-projektbrasilien668]

You are speaking my mind. I had the privilege of going on a student expedition to the north of Russia. The same sights good and bad, same mixed feelings. I am pleased to hear young Russians volunteer to clean the place up. I am sure many from around the world would help - I would - if it weren't for Putin, his regime and his misinformation machinery. What a mess. Thank you Eli for helping preserve my faith in your people. You do deserve a better government than that and I hope you'll get it some day not too far away.

[@pavel5939]

What a beautiful surprise today, to find this new video, about Khatanga. I'd been there almost 30 years ago, in April 1994 during an expedition to the North Pole we made a stop by in Khatanga for a few days. We also flew the IL76 cargo plane, also a AN72, AN28 and some Mil8 Helicopters. It definitely looks very different now in the summer, it was still completely frozen. It was the year before they discovered that big mammouth. I still have a beautiful memory of the people in Khatanga. Both Russians and the Chutki (eskimo people), as well as the dogs, lot of them and very friendly. I also agree about the weird feeling due to the full day sunlight. I didn't sleep for three days. The port on the river was completely frozen and some ships were stuck in the ice, only a couple of them were active (sort of military radio equipped vessels). We didn't have any issues with the polar bears, however we'd been told that a few weeks earlier there had been an accident nearby the airport. There were also some deers around; the Chutki were running some herds and once we flew the helicopters to jump nearby a Chutki village with a lot of deers. That was one of the most memorable experiences of the trip in the area. Very friendly and nice people. On the way back from the North Pole, when we stopped by at a small island in the arctic ocean (Sretnj Island) together with a canadian friend we decided for a small walk and the military gave us an AK, just in case we encountered a bear. We didn't. But in April on the frozen ocean it's not that unusual to meet some. Especially moms with cubs, or some errand hunting males. OMG... so many great memories, definitely missing that place. I'm really Happy to see that you're organizing and cleaning the Arctic, such a beautiful, fragile and important environment. It really deserves to care about. Thank You for taking care of the environment and to show this unknown beauty to the world. BTW. Polar bears are my most favorite animal, I really love them. Take care and keep doing your inspirational videos. Thank You so much.

C'est vraiment impressionnant de voir effectivement tous ces échets métalliques d'un autre temps....mais on voit aussi combien l'URSS a été aussi quelque chose de très actif, une activité très intense qui avait aussi fait grandir énormément tous les pays qui y étaient inclus...c'est clair que le paysage et la anture de cette région ont l'air très beaux, sauf qu'en hiver tout doit être blanc...Je suis impatiente de voir votre prochaine vidéo sur les gens de cette région !

Absolutely fascinating, great footage of some very unusual environments! The Mammoth still half locked in the ice...wow!! 💗 The landscapes of Siberia are really majestic, it's too bad that it's become so logged with old garbage here and there, but to tell the truth you could find just as run-down locations in some places in the US I think. Nearly twenty years ago, during a Russian general election - I don't remember which year it was - a Swedish journalist whom I happened to know some, and who had lived and worked in Russia for many years from the mid-90s on, flew up to the Taimyr peninsula to do some reporting and talk with local indigenous people there about the election and so on.. She must have flown over Khatanga or possibly Norilsk, she continued with a helicopter (probably leased from the army) up to the Taimyr, to seek people out in their tents and cottages on the frozen tundra.

If you happen to go to St. Petersburg I would kindly suggest you to visit the Polar Museum. It has plenty of historic artifacts from polar expeditions since the early years of the 1900. It was run by some friends, a group of former soviet scientists and explorers, who had been working in Antarctica and in the Arctic all their lives, really great guys. One of them, Valery, had been the commanding officer of the last of the floating Ice Drifting Station (maybe #31), lasting more than 36 months, drifting in the arctic ocean. We had a small breakfast together in a private room, under the thorn/ripped flag once waving on the station, and some tears drop out of his eyes. It definitely worths a visit.
