Our trip to Franz Josef Land was an unforgettable experience, and we were fortunate enough to be on board the mighty famous ship Mikhail Somov for a scientific mission to study the Narwhals in the Arctic.

Franz Josef Land is the northernmost territory of Russia, and one of the least filmed territory in the world. Our shots are truly unique, capturing the beauty of the Arctic landscape and the majestic Narwhals in their natural habitat.‌

As we took our drone to the skies, we searched for days to find these elusive creatures, and finally, we were lucky enough to spot them. Did you know that Narwhals are the only known species of whale to have a single tusk? And that this tusk, which is actually a protruding tooth, can grow up to 3 meters long? The scientists on board the Mikhail Somov were conducting an important research expedition to prove that Narwhals dwell in the Russian Arctic. They also took biopsies from the Narwhals to better understand the impact of global climatic changes on these amazing creatures.

Our diesel-electric ship, the Mikhail Somov, is a historical ship with a rich history of Arctic exploration. In 1985 the Mikhail Somov became trapped in the ice for 133 days, but the crew was able to survive and eventually free the ship. Despite its modern upgrades, the ship still maintains the charm and spirit of its earlier expeditions.

So, there you have it, folks, a glimpse into our incredible experience on board the Mikhail Somov, the vital scientific research being conducted in the Arctic, and the beauty of Franz Josef Land. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button for more incredible videos!
