And the final, perhaps the biggest note from the Great Arctic Expedition 2018
4. "Absolute happiness is achievable"
So that day came, that night when we were very close to our goal. There were 300 meters to the pole. We stood in one line. Taking the last steps together is the right thing to do. 3, 2, 1… Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the globe! And here we are at the North Pole, at the point where the magnetic needle of the compass does not point north, and the wind blows only from the south. The goal has been achieved, and the cherished dream has come true. Everything is even better than I imagined, it seems that I even became taller, everything trembles inside from the thought that I am standing at the point where all the meridians converged. It was endless to watch. Outbursts of emotions were accompanied by endless discussions and stories. I never could imagine that such different people in our team could become one. I am very used to each member of the team and really do not want to part with them, I am grateful to them, and especially to the leaders of the Great Arctic Expedition - Matvey Shparo and Alexei Seikin! If not for their attention and care for each of the participants, we would not have succeeded. So
What can you do after that??? Play football, put on animal costumes - kigurumi, drink warm hibiscus tea, experiment for the next expeditions. Kolya, for example, went to spend the night in a sleigh. It was interesting for the future physicist to try this method on himself, and the next morning Kolya declared that it had fully justified itself. It was even warmer than in the tent...
Absolute happiness is achievable. And it is not only in being at the top of the world, but also in the company with which you did it, and in the hopes that this company instills in a common future.
Arctic explorers returned to Arkhangelsk today, August 2. This year, the Novaya Zemlya archipelago turned out to be in the center of attention of scientists. The expedition received the thematic name "Terrae Novae".
The earth does not exist until man himself sees and sings of it. Marina Moskvina, Good Bye, Arctic!
Report from the island of Sosnovets, which is located in the western part of the Gorla of the White Sea, near the Tersky coast of the Kola Peninsula. You can get around the island up and down in 15 minutes, its length is only a kilometer. Width - 670 meters.
In this interview, you will find out why Dmitry Kovalev, a leading engineer at the Department of Information Systems and Technologies of NArFU, is called a meteorological shaman and why clouds are the worst enemy of an ice expert.
We waited exactly a week for landing on Kanin Nos. The last time the expedition went on land was last Sunday, July 22, at Cape Zhelaniya, and they really yearned for hiking. The captain decided for a long time whether to land us on the cape, the coastline of which is dotted with underwater rocks.
On the evening of July 28, a poetic evening was held at Professor Molchanov. They read Anna Akhmatova, Alexander Gorodnitsky, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Victor Hugo and poems of their own composition. Dmitry Nikitin chanted about the Arctic and the arrangement of the song "Your Honor" - "Your Fertility". The expedition is nearing its end, and the students and supervisors are completing their research. In this report, you will learn about the macro-hazards of microplastics, the ability to predict climate change from temporary tree rings, where garbage comes from in the deserted Arctic, and how to tell journalists about all this.
The story of how and why "Professor Molchanov" anchored for the whole night in Ramenka Bay near Kolguev Island.
The subject of today's interview is Natalia Loukacheva, Associate Professor of Arctic Law, who heads the Canada Research Chair in Aboriginal Governance and Law at the University of North and British Columbia.
Forget about the streak of successes and failures And useless letters did not go. We will meet with you on the island of Vaygach, Where the ships are kept by bad weather. A. Gorodnitsky, Vaigach Island
Since Sunday, Professor Molchanov has been heading straight for Vaygach Island. While there are no landings, lectures are held in the bar from morning to evening on the topics of law in the Arctic, the geomagnetic field of the Earth, the history of the development of the North and South Poles ... Jacques Lanare gave three lectures on the topic of effective learning and teaching. Since 2006 he has been vice-rector for quality and education, and since 2010 he has been a professor at the University of Lausanne. The teaching philosophy of Jacques Lanare is based on the idea of applying neuropsychology to teaching.
"Professor Molchanov" goes south along the Kara Sea along Novaya Zemlya. The next landing is only on Vaygach Island.
Reference
The NArFU project "Arctic floating university" is an innovative project that combines science and education. The NArFU expeditionary project is aimed at obtaining new knowledge about the state and changes in the environment of the Arctic in order to implement recommendations for ensuring the sustainable development of the region, preserving its ecosystem in the face of global climate change. The project organizer is NArFU named after M. V. Lomonosov together with the Federal State Budgetary Institution Northern Administration for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. The project is to conduct complex marine scientific and educational expeditions in the Arctic region, with the participation of leading researchers and students of NArFU and with the involvement of specialists from all over the world.
The innovation of the Arctic Floating University project lies in the integration of educational and research processes. NArFU students and graduate students during expeditions are intensively immersed in the scientific and educational process, study fundamental natural sciences and humanitarian disciplines, acquire the skills and abilities to conduct practical work and laboratory research based on modern methods of analyzing statistical, mathematical, cartographic, GIS information, as well as field scientific research in expeditionary conditions.
Expeditions are carried out on the research vessel "Professor Molchanov", owned by the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Northern UGMS". The vessel complies with international environmental and safety standards, allowing it to carry out long-term, expeditionary voyages in the Arctic.
