Third time here! Really well done doc.

I've just started my career as a ship navigator after 6 years in the Naval Academy in Bulgaria, and this was one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen in my life! Thank you for all the amazing narration and facts about the life at sea in such conditons, and of the animals living there.

Here I am again I m so in love with the Yamal and the artic. Love this documentary. Next year I will become 50. I would love to do this trip with my parents and boyfriend. We are 8 years together. Love the music as well. Top documentary. With love Vlasta Leistikow

9:58 "Yamal can maintain a speed of 3 knots through ice 8 feet thick, so ice of a lesser thickness was of little consequence to her progress." Amazing! 😲

The video was simply wonderful and the narration was exceptionally good! Thank you so much.

(A superior seaman uses his superior judgement to keep out of situations that require his superior skills) love this !!

An epic journey to the North Pole via a nuclear powered ice cutter; and it's a guest ship, too! I can't believe National Geographic didn't scoop you up years ago, Mr. Fleming! Beautifully filmed, entertaining and educational; a visually virtual experience!

What a wonderful trip! Despite the awkward dance party :-)

I wanted to do this trip so badly, having sailed around the Arctic several times to see a solar eclipse, northern lights and exploring Spitsbergen, reaching a point beyond 80 deg latitude. However these cruises are *very* expensive, the sailing alone costing £20,000 per person in 2016. By the time you factor in helicopter rides, trips to land at various islands, flights out and back etc etc. I just couldn’t do it. I was looking at Hurtigruten voyages, but they’d all be seriously expensive. I won’t give up hope though! Maybe one day …… I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the narration was excellent. Many thanks for making and showing such a brilliant programme!

Mr. Fleming, you are truly doing the most wonderful documentation work. Thank you!

It was amazing that you reached 90N after all the stops, the thickness of the ice was really impressive and watching it break and open a way was almost hypnotic. I loved that people were allowed to take a dip in the Arctic, what a friendly atmosphere on board too. Seeing the polar bears in their natural home is something else. Neptune made the Yamal work to reach the top but helped in the end. So glad I was suggested this awesome vlog :>

Thank you for letting me experience what I never could otherwise. Truly amazing. Great narration and inspired choices of music.

Your mom

The remarks regarding leaving the port/ berth is an exciting event what lies ahead is truly correct. I was a seafear and sailed on ocean going vessels for about 15 years. During the time, I remember when ever there was arrival/ departure of ship, I would go on deck and watch her as being seeing for the first time. The charm and enjoyment of watching the event is truly remarkable. Having left the sea service for more than a decade, I often longed to see the event, but alas, I am far away from the sea. Thanks for such a good narration. Regards

I went to the North Pole on the Yamal in 2000--even more wonderful than even this excellent documentary can capture. We went on a charter flight from Helsinki to Svalbard where we boarded the Yamal which was launched off shore (We were ferried by Russian Helicopter on the Yamal off shore since Norway doesn't permit nuclear vessels in its ports). We returned by the same route in the documentary to Murmansk , bypassing the Kursk which had just sank in the Barents sea. Fabulous trip.

Tony, what a great video. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for sharing.

The way you put immersion suit is to put on each foot plastic bag, to ease inserting the feet with shoes on. Next you Sit down and put your legs. You don’t put immersion suit by standing up. That’s in case ship rolls. This is from an American Quartermaster. Last time I was in the North Pole was in 1980.

Outstanding Video. I'm almost certain that KZread doesn't pay you enough to produce these magnificent mini documentaries. Thanks for sharing these with all of us.

You're the one that usually blends the music to the scenery... and a perfect job in this video.

Having served in our Coast Guard, I was stationed on the Polar Star, one of only 2 US Polar class ice breakers. I've been to the North pole region 3 times and loved going each time. Even got to go on a Russian icebreaker that was conducting scientific research as well. The crew on that breaker were so friendly and they loved Americans. The polar region, as cold as it is, is beautiful and so wild. I can't Express how loud it is when breaking through multi generational ice and the beauty of that thick ice. BTW, when you see the ship shake, that is those chunks of ice hitting the blades on the propellers. Even the 3rd time there, I was just excited as the 1st. And to be able to assist in some of the 1st serious global warming studies in the polar region. Memories I will never forget!! Brings back great memories. VERY EXCITING.

She is a tremendous ship, and I would be happy to sail aboard her for a trip like this.

Dear Mr. Fleming, I love your videos! Thank you.

I did love watching this video and the expedition but the best part was reading all the comments crazy ass people leave crazy ass comments no one knows what the hell they're talking about Good video

I did the northwest passage and greenland cruise, it was amazing but pricy, 18,795 in 2017 for 2 weeks all inclusive.

Excellent documentary, the last 20 min. was the most interesting, the flowers and birds seem to be thriving right along with the Bears on the ice. What a wonder filled world we share! So much for 'flat earth' 'global warming' and 'climate change'.

Fleming should do all our documentaries! Especially nature, but all things, honestly. A fine voice, knowledge, and the best photography! Pleasant music, also. Just first rate!

Would love to go on a trip like this but the cost is just too prohibitive. Watching a video like this is the closest many of us will ever get to actually being there.

[Polar bears] "Their sense of small is so acute that they can detect the scent of a seal below the ice 1 km away." 13:55
