The participants of the 'Icebreaker of Knowledge' international scientific and educational expedition were captured on board the Russian '50 Let Pobedy' nuclear-powered icebreaker during the journey to the North Pole on August 17-19.
Footage shows the ship maneuvering through the ice cover of the Arctic region. The video also shows the crew unfurling their country's flags during a break, before continuing towards the Franz Josef Land archipelago.
The 'Icebreaker of Knowledge' expedition reportedly aims to popularise science and technology within the nuclear industry, searching for and supporting talented and gifted children, developing their abilities and providing them with career guidance.
This year, the expedition took place for the first time in an international format. On August 13, 63 students from Russia, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, Mongolia, Hungary, India, China, South Africa, Cameroon, Iraq, Bangladesh and Tunisia boarded the nuclear-powered vessel. The participants enjoyed lectures, workshops, science games and film screenings. The vessel returned to the port of Murmansk on August 23.
The '50 Let Pobedy' icebreaker is the largest of the world's modern nuclear-powered Arctic vessels. It was designed to escort research and cargo ships in the Arctic through the Northern Sea Route, while also being chartered for cruise trips.
