Seabridge
Go Wilderness Mongolia provided in country support for this group travelling overland through Mongolia. The group were accompanied by a full production crew from ARD TV (Germany) who were filming a short documentary of the tour as well as 2 shorts for the news. The group set off from Talin and will conclude in Turkey later in 2009.
Many thanks to Kostya for the use of his images on this page. To visit the seabridge website please click here. Another interesting link is to Sentaklaus, two of the adventurers.
