A unique expedition to the North Pole starts on July 11 on the nuclear-powered icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy. This was announced at a press conference in ITAR-TASS by the traveler Fyodor Konyukhov, who will spend two weeks alone at the mini-station.
The expedition will be dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the creation of the Arctic convoys of the allies - the very ones that delivered weapons, equipment, food to our country during the Great Patriotic War.
Nikolai Savelyev, one of the expedition organizers and the founder of the Polar Travel Club, specified that the station, designed for one researcher, was being built on the mainland for six months, now it will be assembled on an ice floe.
Konyukhov will spend two weeks on an ice floe all alone at a drifting polar station in the Arctic Ocean. The main goal of his mission will be to study the intensity of melting polar ice and its drift routes. Konyukhov will devote his free time to creating a series of paintings with the beauty of arctic landscapes. Then the icebreaker will return to the North Pole area and take the researcher back.
