Fedor Konyukhov is a hero for me because not everyone who dares to make something of what made up is mind that traveler.

Fedor Konyukhov is a traveler-explorer. All his trips were made alone. He was born in December 12 in Ukraine. I will describe the very first place, when Konyukhov was still a 15-year-old: Fedor independently rowed a fishing rowboat across the Sea of Azov. December 12, 1990 Fedor Konyukhov passed Cape Horn on his first voyage around the world. January 5, he conquered the South Pole. In 1983 he made a ski expedition in the Laptev Sea. 1984-rafting on the river Lena. 1998-1999-the third single circumnavigation on a yacht. 2002-solitary voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat.
