OREANDA-NEWS  Traveler Vitaly Samoilov from the Altai Territory sailed 600 kilometers on kayaks in the Arctic with his family because of nostalgia. This is reported by the press service of the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The Russian rafted along the Yana River from Verkhoyansk to the village of Severny in the Ust-Yansky district of Yakutia, where the man spent his childhood, and on the way he reflected on the years he had lived. The Samoilov family's trip lasted 25 days, during which Vitaly showed the child the places where he "grew up and was brought up in the harsh conditions of the North."

In the film, posted on Samoilov's YouTube channel, the Russian said that sometimes he woke up with an uneasy feeling of the inaccessibility of childhood and his native places, and when he began the journey, "for almost forty years, the feeling of irretrievable loss was replaced by hope."

Earlier it was reported that the traveler Valery Stempen traveled more than five thousand kilometers across the Arctic for the sake of a photo.
