It has become a tradition for Metrotec to track the movements of various groups of adventure travellers or sports folk, be it for the 63 km cross-country ski run known as the Tartu Marathon, an 80 km swim across the Gulf of Finland, an off-road vehicle expedition to Mongolia or the Amphibear's trip around the world.

This time, the focus is on a 4x4 travel venture to Central Asia. The travellers will pass the giant gas crater known as the Door to Hell in the Karakum Desert, the underground lake Kow-Ata, various sections of the famous Silk Road, the Pamir ?motorway? that runs along the border of Afghanistan, take in a great deal of wonderful natural sights and cultural experience, and discover many near-forgotten villages and markets. The Pamir highway is second highest in the world in terms of elevation, rising up to 4655 m above sea level. The company will test their equipment in conditions in which they only have themselves and their good luck to rely on.
