Arthur Chilingarov will take part in the press-conference of MVK, dedicated to the results of mobile polar museum opening at the North Pole

70 years ago four planes landed on a block of ice, a number of people came out, landed their outfit and flew away. That land had never seen anything similar before! Four brave people broke the polar silence. They drifted on a block of ice for four months. They discovered the depths of Arctic Ocean, its currents, weather regularities and put a start of Arctic exploration. 70 years later, helicopters will land on ice, lovely melody of violoncello will be heard over blocks of ice. People, who have never experienced such a frost, will hoist flag and put up a tent, similar to the tent of members of the Papanin polar expedition. Shouting “Hurrah!” they will open mobile polar museum – the first in the world exhibition at the North Pole…They will hold ardent patriotic speeches about future of our State. And all this is going to take place because Russian people decided to multiply Russian glory and to have their positions in the Arctic – the land of treasure.
