The expedition will work on the most inaccessible archipelago of the Russian North Pole. Last year, scientists first measure pollution on Northbruck and Maybel islands and now compare the data and define dynamics.
Currently, the most dirty region of the Russian North Pole is new lands. However, as the studies show, the pollution level is slightly lower than Spitsbergen. As for Franz Joseph territory, there is no reliable data about the accumulation of garbage-this archipelago is very complex for regular observations.
As explained by experts, the composition and amount of garbage composition and amount on different Arctic islands may vary significantly. This is due to the characteristics of waste -generating currents. The data obtained will help to understand the pollution mechanisms of the North Pole and to develop measures to protect ecosystems.
Sefer Research Ship “Professor Molchanov” is also taking place. In addition to Franz Joseph territory, scientists will continue to monitor the already studied areas of the new land where observations have been observed for several years.
