Ryazan traveler Viktor Atlasov sailed more than 1,500 kilometers in a rubber boat on the Lena River.
He told about this to the Ryazan museum of travelers. On May 24, he advanced near the village of Chapaevo (the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Olekminsky District). The traveler reported that his health was in order. The weather brings: it rains almost daily, turning into sleet or hail in the evening. In the morning, the air temperature does not exceed +3 Celsius. During the day, the average temperature is +10.
Another problem is that the parking lot on the banks of the Lena is extremely difficult to choose. “It’s impossible to get to the coast of the river by boat, they don’t give ice,” said Atlases in a telephone conversation. “With great difficulty, I find narrow gaps between ice blocks in order to organize an overnight stay.” According to the Ryazan traveler, he does not enter settlements located along the shores, sometimes he meets fishermen and hunters on the river.
“People on Lena are friendly, they come to me on their boats, ask, treat me with fresh fish caught by birds in the hunt, always want a good journey,” Atlasov added. Recall another expedition of Viktor Atlasov began on May 5. Each stage he goes alone. Viktor Ivanovich plans to make the next call to the RMP from the Yakut city, where he intends to clarify his further route to the Arctic Ocean.
