WAP has received a Video, taken at a recent Antarctic happening in the city of Rvine-Ukraina. We are pleased to share it, given that Antarctica, designated as Continent of peace and cooperation, reflects the spirit that aims the Worldwide Antarctic Program as well.
The event “Ukraine in Antarctica: Research and Indomitability” held in Rivne, saw the participation of several students, teachers and families, with a remote connection to the Polar Researchers from the Akademik Vernadsky Station (WAP UKR-Ø1), telling the audience about the difficulties they encountered during their expeditions, their daily lives, and in general, how is life in Antarctica.
Watching the video, at min.1,13, we can see Yurii Otruba, Vernadsky Base Leader on the 25th and 29th Antarctic expedition at the Vernadsky Research Base, at min. 2,16 Pavlo UT1KY.
At min.3,19, the three guests: UT1KY, the Co-leader , and Yurii Otruba, Akademik Vernadsky Base Leader.
On last March 11th 2024, the 29th Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition left Kyiv aiming to the Akademik Vernadskyi Station. Most of the team are newcomers (ten people), but they are led by one of the most experienced polar explorers in Ukraine, geophysicist Yurii Otruba. For him, this has been his eighth wintering. Unfortunately, no Ham radio operators among the Ukrainian Team this time!
