Fyodor Konyukhov has traveled land and sea and explored the world’s highest mountains. So far he is the only person in the world to have reached the five most extreme Poles of the planet.

On May 13 2009, he started an expedition which follows the area of the Great Silk Road and will last for at least 172 days. Like in ancient times, the participants will only travel on animals – camels and horses.

You will have a chance to get a shoe from Fyodor Konyukhov’s very own horse by answering the question:

What is the northernmost city in Russia that was part of the Great Silk Road?

The prize will go to the first person coming up with the right answer after the expedition is over.
