The research mission will start on an ice floe located in the area between the Wrangel Island and the North Pole, Rossiiskaya Gazeta reports. The researchers spent only two day on the finding of the appropriate ice flow for the mission, far less than last year’s North Pole-35 expedition. The ice floe has a diameter of 6 km and is up to 2,8 meter thick. It is expected that the drifting ice floe in the end will bring the researchers into the Canadian part of the Arctic.
