☀️ Even though daylight hours at Vernadsky start to increase after Midwinter, it happens very slowly. At first, seconds are counted, then minutes. Now the approximate length of the day in the area of our station is up to 4 hours. In the photo, you can see the maximum height of

In the middle of winter, a sub-Antarctic penguin came to our Vernadsky station 🐧. These birds left our Galindez Island en masse back in May, because the surrounding water area is usually packed with ice for the winter 🧊 Therefore, sub-Antarctic penguins, of which there are

Take a look at the interesting footage captured by Zoya Shvydka, a biologist of the 30th UAE. A sea leopard swims in the ocean. A seal is resting on an ice floe. The sunset "paints" the horizon in a fantastic pink and purple (up to blueberry) colour. ❄️ It is in winter that

🧊 Gotic iceberg, ice pancakes, and whale fountains - our polar explorers showed a beautiful video of one of their winter expeditions to the ocean. In winter, the good conditions for traveling by boat are rare. But while there is an opportunity, Ukrainian researchers go out to

Watch a Weddel 🦭 - a new visitor of the Vernadsky base. It made a "battle make-up" of snow ❄️ and rapidly crawled towards the base. Then, however, it came to rest (or wanted to lull the vigilance of Ukrainian researchers). These animals usually stay in the Antarctic waters

This day, 30 years ago.. 🇬🇧 London, spring 1993, morning. Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK, scientist Serhiy Komisarenko saw an announcement in the mail from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) that it plans to sell its Faraday Antarctic Station. 💬 "I immediately thought: how

Take a look at this interesting iceberg🧊. It looks like a white ice sandwich with blue filling. How did the Antarctic "cook"🔪 it? Once upon a time, when this iceberg was still part of a glacier on land, a crack formed. It was filled with meltwater 💧 and froze. This is the

During the trip 🚤 to the Lemire Strait, where humpback 🐋 often visit even in winter, our scientists expected to see them. But instead of the usual giants, they came across killer whales🦈. This was the first encounter with them for the 30th expedition. There were at least 12
