Belarusian polar expedition returns home

10 июня 2020
After an 8-month expedition, the Belarusian polar explorers returned to their homeland. They completed the installation of the first stage of the domestic polar station. The infrastructure of the base allows conducting year-round work there. So, the domestic researchers get the widest opportunities for the implementation of their projects. According to expedition leader Alexei Gaydashov, all the priority tasks for the scientific program have been completed. And another significant event that happened during the last expedition is the visit of an international inspection team. Experts highly appreciated the infrastructure of the Belarusian polar station, recognized it as one of the best among those that were tested last year, and concluded that it was ready for winter work. Conducting year-round research will be a real breakthrough in the Belarusian polar science.
