Three Russians jumped from a height of 10 kilometers from the stratosphere to the North Pole. This is the first such jump recorded in the world. This was reported by RuVDS.
According to the source, the world record was set by cosmonaut pilot, Hero of Russia Mikhail Kornienko, instructor pilot Alexander Lynnik and founder of the Stratonavtika aerospace laboratory Denis Efremov. The Russians jumped from the Il-76 transport aircraft.
Afterwards they were in free flight and after more than nine kilometers they opened their parachutes, when there was a kilometer left before a complete landing.
Also, northern equipment was dropped from the Il-76, which is going to be installed on a drifting ice floe in the Arctic.
