More than 15000 kilometers (9375 miles) along rivers, sea, and ocean on the Iskatel , an ocean-style inflatable sail-motor catamaran. This way, changing crews, it was done by more than 40 participants in the unique Baikal-Alaska expedition, deciding for the first time in 150 years to repeat the path of the legendary Siberian merchants-pioneers.
Baikal Alaska is one of the wildest and most secluded routes in the world, dozens of bears, whales, and walruses on the ocean stages, storms and many beautiful places in 7 regions of Russia and Alaska – the most northern state of America. In 2019, the expedition successfully reached Sitka (Alaska).

Observing how the situation with coronavirus is developing in the world, we decided to postpone the start of the second part of the expedition "Baikal-Alaska", during which we must return home, to next year.
The planned exit from Sitka is on may 15, 2021.
If ready – there is an opportunity to join the crew. Write to alaska@baikalov.ru.
We are expecting the development of the project: an expedition club, a movie, a guide, a photo book, and many expeditions!
Great History. Great Journey.
As part of the project, we are planning to compile an interactive guide-book, to make a film and publish a photo book.
There is nothing familiar here, nothing like what has been seen and experienced before.
Here ten days in a row it is hard to meet a single person. Here, as far as the eye can see, to the horizon, only you and the pristine world. Your world.
Here, on the most secluded and wild route on the planet, you are one on one with the sea element. With the power of nature. And its beauty.
Here you can see 50 bears and herds of reindeer up to 100 per day. Сrabs are caught even on a hook here, and whales arrange performances a few meters away.
This is the way for the curious and greedy for real life. For those who are always striving forward. Sweeps the barriers. It is at risk.
This is the path for the most powerful, hardy and purposeful. At the maximum of opportunities, drive and strength of character. The path is a challenge, the path is a test. The path in which you rediscover yourself.
Here, in the wild, without a hint of civilization, you can feel like a real human. Through the trials of receiving incredible energy to live in full force. This will stay with you forever.
2019 Expedition Movie – Alaska
In August 2019, the expedition reached the final point of the expedition – Sitka (the former capital of Alaska – Novo-Arkhangelsk). A small video about that was prepared for you.
