Education. The Icebreaker of Knowledge, an international Arctic expedition organized with support from Rosatom, has reached the North Pole. Sixty-six high-school students from 21 countries fulfilled their dream and conquered the top of the world aboard the nuclear-powered icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy. The expeditionists stepped onto the ice with the flags of their nations; many of them were the first citizens of their countries to ever set foot on the North Pole. Having stepped out from the ship at 90 degrees north latitude, where all meridians converge, the students completed the shortest possible trip around the world and also field-tested Russian-made planetary rovers. The Icebreaker of Knowledge expedition is now in its sixth year. This year’s voyage marks the 80th anniversary of Russia’s nuclear industry and the 500th anniversary of the start of Russia’s exploration of the Northern Sea Route. Competition for a spot on the expedition was fierce, with approximately 1,400 applicants for each available position. A total of 67,000 people from around the world took part in the open selection process.
