🚢 On August 14, Rosatom’s 7th International Scientific and Educational Expedition – the Icebreaker of Knowledge – has successfully returned to Murmansk. Over ten days, 68 talented school and college students from all federal districts of Russia and 22 countries including India travelled aboard the nuclear-powered icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy (50 years of Victory) along the Murmansk – North Pole – Franz Josef Land – Murmansk route. 🇮🇳 India was represented by student Lucky Rawat who was chosen among 5,000 applicants to take part in the project. The voyage also made history as the 200th expedition by a surface vessel to the North Pole. A real aerospace laboratory became part of the Icebreaker of Knowledge educational programme. During the expedition, the participants worked with scientists to prepare and conduct two unique experiments: launching a radiosonde at the North Pole to help provide communications in remote areas of the Arctic and along Northern Sea Route corridors, and testing the world’s first recoverable stratospheric platform for Arctic monitoring. #Rosatom #ArcticResearch #RussiaIndia #DruzhbaDosti
