If you think that with the care of the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries, they were rushed into the fly and outstanding travelers, then you are mistaken! Our contemporaries also committed the most amazing travel. Among them are scientists who went to search for confirmations to their theories, researchers of the sea depths, and just an adventurers who risked to go into a round-the-world journey alone or like-minded people. A lot of documentaries have been created about their travels, and thanks to it, we can see the whole world of their eyes, real, lively, full of dangers and adventures.

Eclipse capture in color and failed, but the old monuments of Bukhara and Samarkand, the colorful local types of people and much more are shown.
