Misha’s who went

Mikhail Roncainen who went to Antarctica how do our scientists live in Antarctica in comparison with their foreign colleagues? Does Antarctica have its own brewery? How dangerous are the icebergs? What to do if your ship froze in the ice, but help is not close yet? The answers to these questions will be given by Mikhail Roncainen-a traveler, a YouTube blogger who went, radio and TV presenter trawle show.

Mikhail took part in this expedition, which dragged on for long and harsh days and almost cost the life of the entire crew of the ship. My name is Alexei Solomatin. Here we are discussing travels, features of life in different countries and talk with interesting people on these topics. The guest of today's issue is a Travel blogger, a radio, and now the TV presenter is Mikhail Roncainen, better known as the blogger “who went”-Misha, hello-hello, Lesha.

What are you doing? How long have you been leading your channel on YouTube? Now I have about half a million subscribers. You even write yourself that you do not have an instinct of self -preservation. Is this really so or is it your creative image of a blogger? And I, of course, have an instinct of self -preservation, but I try to crush it for good content, and it’s scary to me very often, but this is good, because if I had not experienced any emotions, I would not be interested in traveling, because what is the point of traveling if you do not feel acute sensations?

Trips to the DPR, for example, where people are wrapped in carpets, and they sit so for days in basements only because you can be mistaken for a spy there. And in Libya I was abducted by the special services, and I was sure that I would no longer return alive from there, because now in the conditions of the Civil War, which has been going on for 8 years, it is absolutely easy to shoot someone and discard somewhere than to figure out who he is and what he was doing here.

I have a lot of good material somewhere on 4 videos, and now I paint the script. Recently, I began to be lazy due to the fact that Utub ceased to be interesting to me as a way of self-realization. Initially, I came to YouTube, because I wanted to open up, but now I have opened up and what I wanted - I got, and since then I began to be lazy, despite the fact that I have a lot of unique content.

With another blogger-Denis Semi Rey, we will shoot for Ren-TV, which produces the new Travel Show “Wild People”, in the usual travel format, looking for the maximum trash. The program will be in the format of the competition, where the two presenters will go to the same country, but along different routes, and when everything is photographed, we will compete - who turned out to be more repulsed, and in the end the audience will be able to vote - who more repelled.

Tell me how you got there and what hopes did you assign to the expedition at the very beginning? The guys from this company decided that as a result of this trip they wanted to get a film, and invited me as a videoographer to make a film for internal use. Two films that I have already given to the customer were shot. Honestly, I did not expect anything from this trip, because I did not understand how it would happen, I was even a little alarming.

I did not think that there would be any force majeure. Here's what I want to say: I am a city resident, I got used to the city bustle, and the first two weeks, when we went from Cape Town, I had a breakdown all over this, and then I released me. I drowned in this silence so that I no longer even wanted to come back. Due to the fact that we got stuck in the ice, our expedition lasted instead of 70 days even when we sailed back to Cape Town, I did not leave the ship at all and tried to extend this antarctic calm.

What was the vessel "Vasily Golovnin"? As I know, this is a special ship to supply Arctic stations, which can independently pass on ice up to 80 centimeters thick, is everything right? Vasily Golovnin was a sailor of the Russian Empire, which took two round -the -world travels. Yes, this is a special ship. There were about 10 such ships and today there were only one-Vasily Golovnin, and they were going to write off it, but decided to restore it, since the ship was unique-there is a huge hold, and secondly, there is a helicopter site and anger for a helicopter, in which there are two cranes, there are still several cranes there.

That is, this vessel, which can supply goods almost everywhere - it can play, anchor, a helicopter will roll out, cargo will rise from the holds to the decks and this helicopter will be delivered anywhere, these helicopters, a “ka” at least km.

On the ground floor there is a dining room for the crew, on the second floor - for the command staff.On the ground floor there was a small gym, but before the trip, the Indians set the condition that there should be a ping-pong table there, so the gym was dismantled. We were chained with ice, while trying to leave the last Maitri station. When we tried to break through them, I calculated that the consumption of our fuel at a distance was higher than that of the rocket.

For a couple of days we tried to break through, but then we stopped, because if we continued to fight, then our fuel would not be enough to reach Cape Town. The fact is that near the Maitri station there is another station - Novolazarevskaya, which was supposed to be provided by the Russian ship Akademik Fedorov. We planned that we would get out on the ice trace of this ship, but when it began to leave, the ice was so quickly compressed that we could not even go out of its trail.

A meeting was organized, where 10 people were determined, who were supposed to stay winter from April to December at Vasily Golovnin, and who would overload the Academician of Fedorov. Everyone else had to fly out with several flights on the KA helicopter and transferring about 70 people. When the first flight gathered and plunged into a helicopter, the muzzle suddenly began, a horizontal wind that blows from Antarctica at such a huge speed that it blows people from the deck, which is why the flight was canceled and the first flight had to overload to cabins again.

It so happened that the muzzle blew for 4 days, and during this time he helped to unclench the ice, and they parted. At the time of the uncleaning, we tried to go out, and we did it! But everything is not so simple - on the way to Cape Town we got into a ten -point storm. I didn’t even think that such storms were! Absolutely everything that was not fixed flew, even people flew!

As I later found out, there was a real opportunity that we will turn over, but this did not happen - our captain ranged. We arrived in Cape Town when the fuel was almost over, count on the last drops. What is there? How did Antarctica meet you? It all started a few days before Antarctica, when the icebergs began to appear. At first they were without penguins, and then they went with them - all this was very beautiful!

Icebergs do not pose any threat, since now there are locators that determine the icebergs for tens of kilometers, they have almost no their speed, so it is very easy to maneuver between them. When we came to Antarctica, we were very happy to finally go down to the ground. Antarctic stations are located in these places. These places are called "oases." Well, from the usual understanding of the oasis there is very far away, and this is simply not snow, these are rocks.

Stations are being built on these rocks. We had anchored somewhere a kilometer from the shore, because there are almost no pier there. Next, they take out a load from the hold, carried to the deck, the cargo is attached to the helicopter, and then it is delivered to the station. Thus, we unloaded about three thousand tons. How do the polar explorers live in Antarctica - and you yourself went ashore?

At the second station, I did not come up entirely legally, but before that I got off on the first! Since the Russian Progress station is located near the first Kharati station, and the Hindus allowed the parts of the Russian crew to pay a visit there so that the Russians would meet with the Russians, see each other and smile. To do this, they sent one flight there, and I fit on this flight and spent 3 hours there.

Not far from this station, hundreds of kilometers, the Australian station Davis was located, they had a feeling of a holiday. And all because of what? What exactly did you unload? The Indians also use exceptionally pure aviation kerosene at their stations, so we had a lot of aviation kerosene. The second place in weight was occupied by food, even there was a special pallet with alcohol, although it was prohibited.

The crash of drone is Misha, I know that you had a drone with you and he crashed, but with the help of him you transported the parcels from one vessel to another. Tell me how it happened? We stood there very close to the rocks, we could have beaten us, and in order to avoid this, we “faded” - they raised an anchor, moved away from the shore and stood in the open sea.

Our engine worked so that we stood in one place. I realized that either a quadrocopter dies in the ocean, or I kill him on the deck and thus at least save a flash card with materials. And then I began to kill him myself: he directed him to the deck, he hit the wall where he broke his leg. After a couple of weeks, ice began, and I realized that it was necessary to resurrect it.

Then I went to the helicopter - the Ukrainian team of the KA helicopter. It turned out that they have a special glue with which they glue the helicopter blades, with the help of it they glued the leg and after which it turned out that my suspension had broken, which made the picture smooth. Despite everything, I raised the drone, but the picture was shaking on it. It was still possible to make several frames from him, directing it in a certain way.

One of the last shots made by a drone before its crash. But the main thing is that he was in touch, that is, he died, the camera was half buried in the snow, but continued to broadcast, he died before my eyes. When we were on the ice, I illegally went down to them at 5 in the morning, so that no one saw, went to the crash site and took this drone. The telegram channel “Having drove” and then, when “Academician Fedorov” came up, it turned out that on board there is a person who had a drone.

The drone was exactly the same as mine, so I took the drone, re -attached it to my remote control and safely used it during the expedition: I shot it from the ice, caught it with the help of a towel: you direct it towards yourself, hold it with one hand, and throw a towel with the other. The maximum with screws you have some problems can happen, but since the screws are consumables, I had a lot of them with me, so I took off the absolutely unique shots of the walking ship.

But there were no such blog-rollers yet. A little philosophy - good, let's finish with Antarctica. I heard in an interview that the expedition in Antarctica influenced your common worldview, and that you no longer have a travel need.
