Fyodor Konyukhov and Igor Potapkin reached the North Pole and set a world record 💥 Famous traveler Fyodor Konyukhov and pilot Igor Potapkin set a record — they were the first in the world to make a flight along the route: Franz Josef Land archipelago - North Pole on a two-seater parachute.

The record flight in the high latitudes of the Arctic with a length of 440, 51 km lasted 10 hours and 13 minutes from 16:29 July 7 to 02:42 July 8 (MSC) and took place in the corridor of 57-60 degrees East longitude at an altitude of 267 to 835 meters above the surface. The average speed was 47 km/h. Closer to the North Pole, the speed dropped to 30 km/h, as the pilots got into the zone of the headwind, which significantly slowed down their progress and, consequently, increased fuel consumption.
