Russian family Klochkovs have been living on the ocean for eight years on their yacht Lady Mary. During that time the family passed all meridians, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, Southern Oceans, five southern capes, including Cape Horn, the Strait of Magellan, Drake Passage, and twice crossed the equator, faced countless storms and tempests. They repeated some of the routes of the great explorers – James Cook, Fabian Bellingshausen, Adam Krusenstern. They walked the paths of Charles Darwin, Thor Heyerdahl and Jack London, and followed in the footsteps of the characters of Jules Verne’s book. “We tried to find out Maria Theresa Island on the 37th parallel in Pacific. On this island, the children of Jules Vernes’ Captain Grant found their father. It is marked on most maps of the world, but modern research has not confirmed the existence of the island. No modern sailing yacht has ever dared to venture into this desolate part of the Pacific. These are dangerous, uncharted waters, completely isolated and uninhabited places. But we have made up our minds: and now we can say with certainty: the famous Maria Theresa Reef does not exist in the Pacific.” Lada become the first child in history to have sailed in Antarctica and around Cape Horn.
