The Kolyma highway and the Pole of Cold. Route Yakutsk-Magadan.
This journey is a real expedition. You will drive from Yakutsk to Magadan along the Kolymsky tract - the famous "road on the bones", built by the GULAG prisoners during the Stalinist repressions. Each village on the way is a piece of history, familiar to most of us only from the novels of Varlam Shalamov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Here, this story is felt as real as the frost scalding the skin.
Yakutsk-Magadan, the famous Kolyma highway, a road built by prisoners of the Gulag. Kolyma is a road of contrasts. On the one hand, this is a long-term "camp history" that has left behind chilling ghost towns. On the other hand, these are incredibly picturesque landscapes of mountain ranges and high passes and the sincere hospitality of local residents living in one of the harshest places in Russia.
