The Goliath Expedition

On 9th September we received a message from Karl stating that he had reached the ‘Mining Camp’ on schedule and all was well. Picking up some of his forwarded supplies, he will move northwards to Komsomolskiy (395km / 17 days). As there are only tracks and it’s summer Karl can use neither his trailer nor sled so will have to backpack all of his equipment across country. With the great distances involved, his dehydrated rations will have to be sent ahead to towns along the route. Full map coverage of this phase across the Chukotka Region can be seen by clicking on ‘Karl’s Summer Route’ on the home page.
