Common goals
2nd training run before the big expedition to the North Pole 2018 from Russia (test of equipment).
Exchange of experiences between dog experts from different countries (Russia and China, though unfortunately Chinese experts faced documentation problems).
Unique Arctic and dogsledding experience.
Promotion of healthy lifestyle and sports among the younger generation (the image of the hero of our days) and the idea of the accessibility of the Arctic when you are motivated and well equipped (.i.e. I was "an ordinary Norwegian student" in addition to several "ordinary Russian students", all females).
Development of inter-regional and international cooperation in the Arctic.
