I use this old picture of Soviet polar activities to illustrate a really important news: Greenpeace has proceeded with its work and its ice-breaker Arctic Sunrise has entered the Kara Sea despite receiving no permission from the Sevmorput administration. Russian media reports laconically on this enterprise, but much more can be found on the Greenpeace website. It is a pity that the Arctic Sunrise would not be able to make a rendezvous with Professor Molchanov, as the voyage of the Arctic University has just come to the end in Dudinkaa.
