The expedition for the organization of the research station “North Pole-35” is successfully completed. MVK International Exhibition Company was the media partner of the expedition and highlighted the organization of the research station “NP-35”.
Thursday, October 04, 2007The organization works of the research station “NP-35” are finished, and on September 21st the formal opening ceremony took place. The first meteorological report from the station was transmitted to Roshydromet.
Monday, September 24, 2007The last stage in organization of a new Russian polar research station is coming up. This year all the works have been complicated by the abnormally warm weather caused by the cyclone in the northern parts of the Arctic Ocean.
Friday, September 21, 2007The main aim of the expedition is to find the ice-floe to organize the drifting station “North Pole-35” there.
At the moment the expedition is in the Arctic Ocean and heads on South-West. Its location coordinates are: 85° 14’ North latitude and 105° 10’ East longitude. The air temperature is -10°C, water temperature -1°C
Today, at about 6 p.m. the vessel Akademik Fedorov will pass through the North Pole line thus getting from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern. At the moment the vessel is going towards Severnaya Zemlya.
Wednesday, September 19, 2007Russia has organized research expeditions at the North Pole for 70 years already. The first Soviet research expedition “North Pole-1” was organized in 1937. Its work launched the planned nature study in the most remote northern part of the planet. It is highly important that the drifting ice-floes where research stations are built should meet certain strict requirements which let the station work all year round.
Monday, September 17, 2007The expedition Arktika-2007 aimed at organizing the research station “NP-35” is in full play now. Now the research and expedition vessel Akademik Fedorov is leaving the Canadian sector and is going to Novaya Zemlya along the Northern Hemisphere.
Monday, September 10, 2007The Roshydromet Arctic and Antarctic Research Studies Institute was built in 1987 at the Rauma-Tellak dockyard. It is a unique research icebreaker vessel. And today, on September 10th the Akademik Fedorov is 20. The Russian flag was raised on the shipboard to honour the anniversary.
