Land Rover Russia goes around the world in 70 days

Led by travel blogger Sergey Dolya, the unforgettable trip lasted 70 days taking in 22 countries on six continents. In total the crews passed through 100 cities, travelling 70,000km across the globe in a convoy led by Land Rover Discovery SUVs.

The route met the international standards of a complete circumnavigation: it started and ended in the same place and passed two antipodes - geographic points on exactly opposite sides of the globe.

Starting in Moscow, the expedition drove across Russia. The crews visited Cheboksary, Ufa, Kurgan, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, and then, more than 6,000km later, turned towards Mongolia. After three weeks they reached the first antipode, the city of Enshi in China, where they planted a Land Rover flag.

The 11,000km Asia leg was completed in Laos, Thailand and finally Singapore, from where the crew flew to Australia. One week and 3,000km later, they headed for South America, where they reached the second antipode near the city of La Serena in Chile.

Week eight was spent in the U.S.A, driving from coast to coast through 11 states and nine cities, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Africa. They reached Europe through Morocco and Gibraltar for the final week. They returned to their starting point in Moscow on 15^th August after 70,000km.
