March 4, 1937 was born Soviet and Russian scientist, traveler and journalist Yuri Senkevich. For about 30 years, he hosted the TV show "Club of Travelers", in which he told viewers about various countries of the world. As a doctor-researcher, Senkevich was preparing for a flight into space, because before joining television, he was seriously engaged in science - he studied the behavior of the body in extreme conditions. He never went into space, but he lived for more than a year in Antarctica.
