Arctic station NP-37 & NP-38
Soviet and Russian manned drifting ice stations - Russian scientists established the North-Pole-37 station in September 2009. After the ice became unstable, the 15 explorers were rescued by the icebreaker Rossiya (reference). At the time, the media speculated that Russia would abandon further attempts to set up drifting ice stations. The reports proofed to be wrong. Russia established NP-38 earlier in October and unloaded 300 tons of equipment from the same icebreaker that rescued the NP-37 expedition. Despite the dangers, 15 scientists man the latest floating ice research station. (reference) They will travel several thousand miles (kilometers) before the ice becomes unstable again during the next spring or summer.
