Whose Best Friends Are Diamonds?
Location of the Valley of Death

Russian Academy of Sciences plans an expedition to the Valley of Death, located in the Sakha Republic, in search for new diamond deposits.
      
      Expedition will get together archeologists, geochemists, crystallographers and experts in Earth physics. Geologists believe the Valley hides previously unknown type of kimberlite diamond pipes.
      
      As for the name of the Valley of Death, a legend says that any traveler, whose ill fortune makes him stay there at night, dies. Expedition members will take all necessary precautions, for instance, perform airborne prospecting with magnetometers (magnetic anomaly detectors) and radiometers. Researchers will wear suits, protecting them from radiation.
      
      Scientists plan to shoot a documentary at this mysterious nature spot.
