介绍:
Chinese adventurer Guo Chuan is in the Russian port city of Murmansk, ready to set sail on a trans-arctic journey with an international crew.
Guo and his six crew members will sail aboard the trimaran "Qingdao China" across the northeast sea route of the Arctic Ocean.
Guo says the boat will be entirely powered by wind as they aim to increase the public's awareness of environmental protection.
"The boat is completely environmentally-friendly and wind powered. So as you saw, the officials of the Russia's Northern Sea Route Administration were astonished after knowing we will sail only by wind power. "
Guo and his team are due to set sail tomorrow on the journey which takes around two weeks and finishes at the Bering Strait.
Fifty-year-old Guo Chuan is the first Chinese sailor to circumnavigate the world solo. He completed the global journey in the same boat in 2013.
Guo is attempting to set a new record of continuous sailing in the Arctic Ocean.
