For winter season 2005 - 2006 I (Anton Kuzmin) was hired to work with French expedition "L`Odyssee Siberienne" of famous adventure traveller Nicolas Vanier.  Expedition had covered route distance over 8000 km from Baikal lake through wild and cold Siberian lands up to Moskow. The main idea of expedition - to make a journey on dogteam sledge across whole Siberia in one winter and to make movie about that trip.

I have worked for expedition like a translator, pathfinder and trailbreaker on snowmachine. The expedition had covered the distance over 8.5 thousand km through wintry Russia for a period of 3.5 months.
