Traveler Fyodor Konyukhov during an expedition to the drifting polar station at the North Pole in July of this year is going to find out whether there is microplastic in the Arctic Ocean, reports TASS.
He explained that “he wants to measure whether there is a microplastic at the North Pole when the drift is”. According to Konyukhov, although no one pollutes the North Pole ,however, the current still brings plastic there.
Konyukhov stressed that it is necessary to pay great attention to the study and cleaning of the Arctic.
The traveler intends to spend 10 days on an expedition to the North Pole in July at the drifting polar station, which is located on an ice floe. He will study, among other things, the intensity of ice melting.
In January of this year, Fyodor Konyukhov was hospitalized after a trip to Mexico. His son Oscar then said that doctors diagnosed his father with pneumonia, but the test for coronavirus was negative.
