More than 500 New Year's greetings and letters will be sent to participants of polar expeditions. According to the press service of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, this year the “Letter to a Polar Explorer” campaign collected a record number of messages.
According to Sever-Press, letters and gifts came from different cities of Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ulyanovsk, Omsk, Kirov, Chelyabinsk, Kazan, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and many others. People sent not only warm wishes, but also questions, crafts, drawings and small souvenirs.
Mail for scientists and employees working at the North Pole will be delivered by air. The messages are addressed to the participants of the drifting expedition “North Pole-42” and polar explorers at the ice base “Cape Baranova”.
For polar stations in Antarctica, mail has already arrived at transshipment points – the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo, and Cape Town, South Africa. From there, the scientific expedition vessels “Akademik Fedorov” and “Akademik Treshnikov” will deliver letters and gifts to scientists through the waters of the Southern Ocean.
