The North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth, lying diametrically opposite the South Pole. It defines geodetic latitude 90° North, as well as the direction of True North. At the North Pole all directions point south; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be defined as any degree value. While the South Pole lies on a continental land mass, the North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean amidst waters that are almost permanently covered with constantly shifting sea ice. This makes it impractical to construct a permanent station at the North Pole (unlike the South Pole). In recent years, journeys to the North Pole by air (landing by helicopter or on a runway prepared on the ice) or by icebreaker have become relatively common event, and are available to small groups of tourists through adventure holiday companies. The most exciting way is to reach the Pole by ski crossing last degree (111 km).

Mount Everest with 8848 m is the world's highest peak. Climbers aiming for the summit must survive the extreme conditions of the 'Death Zone' and perform great feats of endurance. The highest mountain in the world attracts well-experienced mountaineers as well as novice climbers who are willing to pay substantial sums to professional mountain guides to complete a successful climb. The mountain, while not posing substantial technical climbing difficulty on the standard route (other eight-thousanders such as K2 or Nanga Parbat are much more difficult), still has many inherent dangers such as altitude sickness, weather and wind.

This is true Everest, even so it’s only Northern Peak. The majestic mountain of 7550 meters is staying high above the North Col and clearly visible from the route of ascent of Everest. We choose the route of ascent from the North Col. It was climbed one-two times before us. Changtse - is perhaps the best panoramic point on view of Mount Everest. And at the same time, it is a separate beautiful mountain.

Muztag Ata is perhaps the highest ski-able mountain in the world. Of course, its early pioneers did not have skis and deep snow thwarted early attempts on it. It was eventually climbed in 1956 by a large Sino-Russian expedition, which placed a total of 31 climbers on the summit. Three years later even this success was topped when 33 members of a Chinese expedition climbed it, 8 of who were women. The first ski ascent of Muztag Ata was made in 1980 by an American expedition led by Ned Gillette.

Pobeda Peak (7439m) is the highest point of the heavily glaciated snowy wall of the Kokshaal-Tau Range (the Tien Shan mountain system) which stretches for 30km not coming lower than 6000m. The massif consists of three summits: West (Vazha Pshavela Peak, 6918m), East, 7079m and True (Main) Summit, 7439m. The South Inylchek Glacier, which flows from under both Pobeda and Khan Tengri peaks is the longest valley glacier in the world (60km). Due to its height and geographical position (on the northern border of the great Takla Makan Desert) this mountain can claim the harshest weather conditions a climber can meet on a seven-thousander. Dreadful snowstorms coming from the desert and lasting for many days are rather a norm than an exception. This is why, concerning overall difficulties, experienced mountaineers put on a par Pobeda Peak with Nanga Parbat (8125m) in the Himalayas.

Peak Lenin (7137 meters) is the third highest peak in the former Soviet Union and is considered to be one of the easiest mountains over 7000m. Because of this fact it has become one of the most popular peaks in the world and annually receives hundreds of climbers from all over the world. Lenin Peak is a border mountain between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, easier access and easier routes are the main practical reasons why a vast majority choose the Kyrgyz side. Additional reasons for the peak's popularity is the hospitable surroundings. The green, lush meadows and relative warmth at base camp, makes a big difference compared to equivalents in the area. Many climbers also come back with fond memories of having "camped with nomads" and great horse-back rides on the grasslands. The nomadic culture on the pastures of Kyrgyzstan is still very much alive.

Kommunizma Peak stands at the junction of the Akademii Nauk (Academy of Sciences) and Pyotr Pervy (Peter the Great) Ranges in the north-west part of the Pamirs. It was Ivan Dorofeev, a Russian military topographer, who did all the surveying of the central part of the Fedchenko Glacer together with the adjoining peaks (which remained unclimbed by then). The exact coordinates and altitude of the highest one, 7495m, were confirmed only in 1929. In 1931 it was named after Stalin, in 1961 called Kommunizm and in 1999 – Somoni (Tajik). There are dozens of climbing routes on the peak, of the highest grades (from 5A to 6B). The most popular, so not among the hardest, are two: Borodkina Route from the Valter Glacier (the northern side) and “Burevestnik” from the Fortambek Glacier (the western one). And one of the hardest starts from the Belyaev Glacier and goes up the 2km high rock wall with the steepness over 80° The easiest route is from the Bivachny Glacier. Important notes 1. In case the group size does not come to four, we reserve the right to raise the price. 2. Trip’s starting date is preliminary. It depends on the local helicopter flight schedule and will be fixed not later than 40 days prior to leaving for expedition.

The right name of this beautiful mountain is Peak Evghenii Korzhenevskoy, shortly Peak Korzhenevskoy. With 710 5meters, it is the third highest peak in the Pamir after Peak Kommunizma and Peak Lenin, and the fourth highest in the former Soviet Union. The classic routes up Peak Korzhenevskaya and Peak Kommunizma start from the same base camp in the Moskvina Glade. Many climbers attempt both mountains using Korzhenevskaya to prepare for higher and slightly harder Kommunizma. It was first discovered in 1905 by the Geography professor Korzhenevsky, who had followed the Muksu River to the south side of the peak. He named the peak after his wife, Evghenia Korzhenevskaya.

Very few high and well known mountains have kept through history their ancient names: Olympus, Fujiyama, Vesuvio, Demavend and Elbrus. Mt.Khan Tengri can join this great company. “Ruler of skies”, “Inaccessible for man”: these were the emotions the majestic pyramid gave rise to with ancient people. The peak stands in the eastern part of the Tengri Tag Range of the Tien Shan mountain system. This pyramid has a fantastic charming touch: the rosy-grey colour of its marble façade. The other, historical, touch is that only in 1989 foreign climbers got a chance to see and touch it “alive”.

An expedition to Vinson Peak is often called the “Key to Seven Summits”. No, the mountain itself does not present serious technical problems, but it is very difficult in terms of getting to it. For that there are two weighty reasons: its utter remoteness and the high price of any expedition there. So, a trip to Vinson Massif is exceptionally interesting and prestigious. So far very few people have done it!
