Our next stop could be our last in Russia: the town of Providenia, right on the Bering Strait. This final leg of our Russian journey might take some time, however: Foggy conditions at this time of year often keep the place in wraps for days or even weeks on end.

Our Antonov An-2's might not make it across the Bering Strait; our Russian pilots have to hand crank the engines.
