Pobeda: Climbing North Hemisphere's Coldest Peak.

Pobeda: Climbing North Hemisphere's Coldest Peak follows alpinists Tamara Lunger and Simone Moro as they head deep into Russia’s Sakha region to take on Pik Pobeda—the highest mountain in Siberia and a place where the Northern Hemisphere’s lowest temperatures have been recorded. In February 2018, they prepare for a first-ever winter ascent of this 3003m frozen monolith, stepping into a landscape so remote and unforgiving that retreat is never simple and rescue may not be possible. This short film is worth watching for its raw sense of exposure: the kind of cold that turns every task into a test, and every decision into a calculation. It’s a tight, atmospheric window into modern alpinism—equal parts grit, partnership, and discipline—where progress is measured in small victories and the mountain’s silence is as intimidating as any crux. If you love high-stakes expeditions, extreme environments, and the mindset required to keep moving when everything says stop, Pobeda delivers.

Sakha is a region of highs, lows and little else. It’s home to Pik Pobeda, the highest mountain in Siberia, and where the lowest temperature in the Northern Hemisphere was recorded - a deadly -71.3C. It’s also the desolate and hostile landscape in which alpinists Tamara Lunger and Simone Moro found themselves in February 2018, preparing to attempt the first ever winter ascent of this 3003m frozen monolith.
