Looking at the Amarok expedition, it looks like they are having a hard going. I don't think, looking at some of their photos that a bike could make headway through the two metres of snow on the post Anadyr leg. To Pevek and perhaps Uelen yes.

Thank you, Fastship. The Russian MLAE expedition is absolutely amazing. Never thought that a crossing of the Northern Polar cap could be possible with cars on wheels. And they started in March ... so late!
The Amarok expedition has now made it to the border of Kamchatka Oblast, but only with the help of caterpillar trucks paving the way. Let's see how long the last couple of hundred kilometers offroad will take.
