The first crossing between Russia and Greenland was achieved by Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer (both Belgium) on 14 June 2007.

The adventure lasted 106 days and the distance covered was more than 1,650 km with the innumerable detours they had to take throughout their journey.

The journey across the Arctic from Siberia to Greenland via the North Pole had extremely harsh conditions - never able to rest and braving the obvious harsh conditions in the Arctic, making this athletic feat all the more extraordinary and places it among the most prominent achievements in the history of the poles.

This record was confirmed by the Polar Expeditions Classification Scheme (PECS).
