In Nome, a coastal town in western Alaska, Karl met Dimitri Kieffer—a French-American adventurer with a wild streak and a kindred spirit. They connected instantly, both drawn to extreme physical challenge and the raw honesty of exploration.

Dimitri had been preparing his journey across Siberia, and their paths aligned with almost eerie symmetry. Together, they trained for the Bering Strait crossing, forming a tight partnership built on shared risk and trust.
