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. Last time the expedition went on land last Sunday, July 22, at Cape Zhelaniya, and yearned very much 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 reporters 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.
We choose the most picturesque, unusual and little-known places in Russia and the world. And we always pay special attention to the study of the country or region along which the route is laid. If you decide to go on an expedition, then be sure to get acquainted with the life, culture, architecture, cuisine and natural features of these places. All this, combined with a high level of quality and safety of each expedition, is the credo of the Travel Club of Mikhail Kozhukhov.
Security and organization at the highest level.
We create expedition trips for those who appreciate the quality organization of their trips. For people who want to keep the tent from leaking, the ATV does not stall, and the meeting car was always there and on time. "Annoying little things" and "force majeure" will not overshadow the impressions of the trip. Participants will be able to fully indulge in adventure and be carefree, like children, while professionals solve all the key issues. This is the real expeditionary tourism.
During the expedition you are in the company of like-minded people and professionals.
All our expeditions around Russia and the world are planned, organized, accompanied by professionals and true enthusiasts of their work: club managers, organizers, local guides and residents. The company on the expedition will be made up of people who are passionate about adventure and travel, just like you. We know for sure that at the end of the trip you will become a close-knit team, and your phone book will be replenished with a dozen numbers of “proven fighters”.
Careful planning and elaboration of the details of each expedition.
All participants receive detailed information about the route and the host country, recommendations for preparation, equipment, and nutrition. We carefully work out the programs every day and achieve the ideal balance of activities and time for rest.
Expeditions are a special type of recreation that suits those who dream of feeling like a discoverer of new lands. And although the participants of tourist expeditions cannot be called pioneers in the full sense of the word, they manage to visit those corners of the country that they could only read about in geography textbooks before.
If it is important for you to spend a bright, unusual holiday, getting a portion of exotic and local flavor, or to give your child an unusual vacation, take part in such a trip - incredible landscapes, new sensations and emotions await you. The expedition involves a trip or hike of a group of tourists along the route, as far as possible from civilization.
Typically, a trip of this category lasts at least a week. During the expedition, the participants get acquainted with the nature of the places along which the route passes, with the peoples living here, the culture, traditions, and customs of the natives. Travelers gain experience of survival in the absence of civilization.
On such trips, you have to forget about comfortable hotels, shops, restaurants. The cuisine on the way is also not replete with gourmet dishes. You will spend the night in tents set up by yourself, washing and bathing in rivers and lakes. The program includes movement on difficult roads and trails.
But the expedition also provides a lot of advantages:
- The opportunity to get to know the hard-to-reach regions of the Russian Federation.
- Gaining new knowledge and practical skills that will make you more confident.
- The pleasure of contact with nature untouched by man.
- >Complete detachment from the bustle of megacities (sometimes even the possibility of mobile communications disappears).
What destinations do tour operators offer?
Among the offers there are vouchers to a variety of destinations, and there is an opportunity to make expeditions even outside of Russia. For example, cruise trips to Antarctica, to the Falklands are offered. But most of the routes are laid in Russia, in which there are many places that are difficult for tourists to visit. This is Baikal, already chosen for a long time, but having many secrets, harsh Chukotka, the Russian Arctic, the Putorana Plateau, Kamchatka breathing volcanoes and geysers, strict and cold Kolyma. Travel can involve different modes of transportation - boat, SUV, minivan, quad bikes, snowmobiles, etc.
The group always travels accompanied by experienced guides who are responsible for the safety of each participant. Before the trip, everyone receives a detailed briefing on the rules of conduct on the road, which they undertake to comply with, as well as the instructions and commands of the instructor. Only in this case the journey will be successful and safe.
It is also important to take care of suitable equipment in which you will be comfortable on the road or at a halt. Clothing should be appropriate for the season, be windproof and warm. Comfortable shoes with non-slip soles are a must for active tours. It is also necessary to have a first-aid kit with a supply of the most commonly used medicines - there will be nowhere to buy medicines during the trip.
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… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 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.
