The view shows the new Russia's Severny Polyus (North Pole) ice-resistant floating research self-propelled platform, which is completing tests and preparing for the first trip to the Arctic latitudes, at the Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg, Russia. Its first real voyage will come in 2023, when the Severny Polyus will sail into Arctic waters for a two-year expedition. The ship is designed to be able to drift with the Arctic currents without interruption for two years.
