On the Earth of Franz Josef the polar night ended

The longest polar night in Eurasia, the northernmost territory of Russia. This was reported by Alexei Barakov, Deputy Director for General Issues.

"Today, for the first time, the sun appeared on the island of Alexandra Land," Barakov said. Recall that the polar night on Alexandra Land began on October 18.

"She is very cold, windy and dark there. There are almost no auroras, because low clouds. Frost under minus 30 with wind and very high humidity is difficult to bear. The wind can reach 36 meters per second - this is a real hurricane. In the dark you have to be careful, because there are polar bears, "- said the head of the expedition center of the park Vadim Zakharin.
