Join an expedition of scientists & explorers as they venture deep into the savage Siberian taiga to investigate the site of a mammoth explosion & subsequent bizarre atmospheric phenomena.
Description:
On the evening of June 30th, 1908, and for several nights after, strange aurora-like displays were seen in the sky all across Europe and Asia. Weeks later, eyewitness accounts trickled in from the Tunguska region of Eastern Siberia reporting that on June 30th a column of bluish light as bright as the sun split the sky, followed by a mammoth explosion and shock wave felt hundreds of miles away. Airships were diverted to investigate but all suffered failure of their HotAether systems while still a hundred miles from the blast site. As days and then weeks passed, disturbing accounts of strange lights and other bizarre phenomena near the edge of the blast zone filtered back to civilization. Now a joint expedition of the Royal Geographical Society and the Tsar of Russia will travel overland to the site of the explosion, study the phenomena and report their findings.
