Russian Antarctic Station
Anton Chekalin has visited Russian Antarctic station and has shot there some interesting places.
For example, what you see on the photo above is the Russian water well. The have made a 16 feet (5 meters) deep hole in the ice and there they can get fresh water from somewhere, so when person gets in there he can see sun trying to penetrate through this many feet thick ice.
This is photo from so called “oasis”, where the temperature is about 5 degrees higher than around, so it’s just a hot place over there. Penguins have a strange ritual - from generation to generation they go on peligrimage - sometimes for as long as two months - so that just to reach this place, stay there for sometimes for just a few hours and go back to their usual places of living.
This truck was abondoned there since the Soviet era of Antarctic exploration.

OMG it looks like Russians cant afford heating for their polar research centre
OMFG U ARE SO DUMB
We litter this place too with junk machinery
Amazing photos. Thanks ER!
Photo number 4 is upside down…
Other wise what a wicked place! A few more years and explorers will be able to walk over all the debris to get to the poles…
i noticed that, confused me for a bit
is this abandoned truck filled with foam ?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M LOOKING AT
Antartic is a surreal place.
I remember a Soviet and an American in the 80´s saying that they were there just because the other one were there.
Americans because of the Russians and Russians because of the Americans.
But what is the name of this station?
I read once that Vostok station register the coldest temperature ever taken, −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) and unnoficially -91° C.
Very nice.
very nice place, I have heard than nowadays some tours to Antarctica by the ships are available.
Nice pictures in the beginning but then I saw the 2nd last one. Why in the f*** do russians have to trash every place they go? Why can´t they just clean after themselves?
Ты олень еще поплач, что антарктиду засарили,съезди и прибери там при таком морозе,глаза рассыпятся.
Im probably the closest one here to Antartica being that I am in New Zealand

Why “trash”? It simply stays there, waiting for repair. It can wait for decades in The Firdge That Never Breaks. Sya, the “official” way of storing spare jet engines is to put the box under 1 meter of ice and mark the place to find later, the box will not be damaged by any accident that might happen on the surface.

Cool pics.
I literally jus got home from a 3 month tour there. The base is Novolazarevskaja. If you want to see some more pics, check out my website above. It crazy to see these on hee.
[...] El Jefe sent me a link to this really cool set of photos by Anton Chekalin. They’re all really cool, so i recommend you check them out. He hung out at the Russian Antarctic Station. One of the shots is an area they called Oasis- it’s about 5 degrees warmer than the rest of Antarctica, so penguins from ALLLLL over go on a pilgrimage once a year to visit - kinda like a summer vacation!

The oasis picture is definitely upside down.
Is there a fear of the underground well collapsing?
As far as I know (from the BBC Planet Earth series:) the penguins go there to lay eggs. The females then return to the ocean, while the males stay, each with one precious egg, for the whole arctic winter, until the young hatch from eggs and the mothers return with food for the young. Then, presumably, they live happily ever after.
