Проходя маршрут «Байкал-Аляска» мы составляем современный путеводитель для ваших путешествий
“Baikalov” team has been thoroughly studying the history of the Russian-American Company since 2013. Being greatly impressed by Irkutsk merchants, men of great caliber, and the unique character of the little-explored nature, we came up with the idea of creating “Baikal-Alaska” project.
2016 was devoted to the route reconnaissance and exploration and route defining.
We dared to repeat the trade route of Russian seamen of the 18th - 19th centuries which nobody had dared to take for more than 150 years. The first part of the route was successfully completed in 2017.
