[powkers]

next trip, hardest and most extreme in which I ever participated - Vorkuta
http://maps.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x4487736f538a15cb:0xce1a92c6cac3a06c&q=67.525373,64.072266&ved=0CA4Q-gswAA&sa=X&ei=rsuiT83JBZKK_AaU29gp&sig2=wd-2WR_diSm0fuejhWveuA
A city in Russia beyond the Arctic Circle located on the border between Europa and Asia.
To this city there is no road, it can be reached only in winter when wetlands freeze.
This town can be reached only by rail, we arrived in cars :)
Enjoy

That was Uaz ready for deep snow driving. Is a popular car in russia.
Big wheels works like caterpillar. They have several grams pressure on the ground.
In Iceland they build Patrols like this.
