By 15.00 on Friday we arrive at the marine hydrometeorological polar station Sterlegov. We are met by the head of the station Vladimir Nikolayevich Karabulin and his colleagues. In total, the station has 4 people, and 5 km from them – a radio navigation station, there are 2 more people. It’s all! For hundreds of kilometers, not a soul!

The employees of the meteorological station were among the first to contact and were interested in our plans and movements. In autumn, with the assistance of our partners, Arctic Consulting Services, we shipped a shipment of gasoline here. We are refueling.

The Sterligov Weather Station (formerly Sterlingov Cape) was opened in 1934 and operated continuously until 1944, when it was burned by a German submarine. The station resumed its work in 1945. Without interruptions, it worked until January 2002, when it was mothballed due to a fire, was reopened on October 7 of the same year.

The Polar Station The Sterlegov Cape is located on an isthmus about 1 km wide connecting the mainland and a small peninsula ending with the cape of the same name with the station, 6 km to the northeast of it. The peninsula has a width of 3-4 km, tapering forms the aforementioned isthmus.

 

In the late 90’s a transport helicopter crashed here, 7 km to the west-southwest, in the area of the radio navigation station. Everyone who was on board died. Now on the headland there is a monument to the dead helicopter pilots. Annually, when approaching the station, helicopters from “Mikhail Somov” make a memorial circle over the place of death of colleagues and friends. It became a tradition: no one is forgotten!
