Very soon will start 68th season of Russian Antarctic Expedition, which will traditionally send scientists from St. Petersburg Mining University, as well as the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute to the scientific station Vostok. Last year the oldest technical university in our country sent a record number of its representatives to the White Continent, 7 people at once, four of whom had no experience of being at the polar stations before. Forpost asked them to recall their typical day in Antarctica. ”First thing in the morning, I put on my felt boots.”
