There were 70 of us. We were from different countries. But we were one family, despite our different ages, religions, human and sports experience. We were all equal. Both the large teams from Russia and Malaysia and the small but very pretty representative from Portugal. In a strange way the expedition has united unique people: an Orthodox priest and representatives of the Islamic religion; a 14-year-old schoolboy from Russia who has just performed his first parachute jumps and a veteran of the parachute sport from Holland - a very experienced female skydiver who has carried out her fifth parachute jump down on the North Pole; a world-known air-cameraman with 6500 parachute jumps and a journalist who has done his first tandem parachute jump down on the North Pole. The North Pole is an element confronting a defenseless human being, and yet we felt our strength and experienced freedom. Actually the North Pole is one point containing a space without limits and completely denying the boundaries of time, space and spiritual state. We were all together and we were happy.
