8. Particular attention is the fuel: the way of filling only one - 83 latitude
9. The only foreigner in the expedition mechanical engineer Icelander Ao runs the cars before the start. Everything related to reliable operation machine, lies on his shoulders.

17. Every day, the captain of the expedition (he is the chairman of the Kazakh Geographic Society) Nurlan Abduov sends home a short message of the passage route of the expedition

26. The twentieth anniversary of Independence of Kazakhstan KazGeo team met already on the way home
27. Blizzard still overtook the expedition. Speed dropped to 3-5 km per hour. Visibility is almost zero. There were, as they say, the instrument
28. On the way back stop almost was not. We slept in machines for 2 - 3 hours, and again in the way. Snowbound vehicles, had to dig out a few times a day
29. A bit cleared only towards the Novolazarevskaya, 200 kilometers to the station
30. Not without adventures - tires again and can not withstand low temperatures
31.
32. The last obstacle on the way back to the station - the mountains. Norwegian flag in the Kazakhstani car - a tribute and memory of Roald Amundsen's expedition
33. "The sun does not set. On a circle goes around us. In the Antarctic, a light from mid-November until about the beginning of March. All the rest of the night, cold and wind. Frankly, amazed at how 100 years ago, Amundsen and Scott reached the Pole. What will power the people had faith. Seeing all this - I want to pray for them! Moreover, the English expedition at full strength lies somewhere here ... In the eternal captivity Antarctica ... "(from the diary of the expedition)
34. That airfield snowbound. This snowstorm locals do not remember the last years 10. Chance piled up to 5 meters!
