igor pilichikov igor mikhailovich hello. good morning. good morning. well , it's practically the end of the earth. just let's, first of all, for us and for all our viewers, let's explain. which edge? yes, we believe that it is the globe, if we have the globe here, then where will you go, up or down, we will go down, we figured it out. yes, they usually ask questions. e, say a. why do polar bears eat penguins? we say no. only at the zoo, because they are bears upstairs downstairs you go to the penguins. everything is now us we understand everything. here being the deputy for general affairs and logistics. how, after all, belarusians will reach this south pole, practically a pole, but get to that side of the earth, after all, i know that the last time when there was such an expedition, someone got there by air, someone by sea. now what way this year we will also say combined. so this is the route on october 25, that is, in a few days, literally, the avant-garde composition of our expedition in the amount of 10 people will fly from minsk to istanbul and captau. yes e and after passing a small e, a five-day mandatory e quarantine, they are on an il-76 plane. they will fly to antarctica. november 2, weight, well , it is planned, it all depends on the weather and at the russian station novolazarevskaya, and we plan that with a good combination of weather conditions. they will be in the period somewhere from november 2 to 5, uh, stay until they fly to our station. yes, the flight will be on a small plane already. butler 67 - this is e. previously, we had such il-18 soviet two-engine ones, on such an aircraft they arrive in antarctica. such difficult logistics. you said 10 people to go there is such a list of brave ones, but after all, there will be not only, let's say, professionals got there, and newcomers we have this year, uh, as part of the expedition, we have 12 people in total. prior to that, the ladies line-up said uh, this year. we have five newcomers. yeah, there are five people who will be for the first time. as part of the expedition, go to antarctica and seven people who were already experienced. uh, many times some four by three. well, alexey alexandrovich says dashov. it's already misfortune number of expeditions in which he took part and directly guide. that is, the composition is obtained as an alloy . ah, experience and youth. in general, such a tough selection. i would say because not everyone can get there. well, you know, what is interesting to us is how a girl of a woman with three goes there, uh, they want to get to antarctica with a woman. uh, k. we had even been admitted to the site. eh, as if sent. eh, there were wishes. e. well, no one has hit yet. let's say though. so that's for e stay. women uh in our infrastructure everything provided without problems. well, of course , a belarusian woman did not set foot on the antarctic land, yes, it turns out to be an ice floe, but it seems to me that this situation will need to be corrected in the near future. tell us in general what a team of twelve people is for. as we have already found out, he goes to antarctica and admire the views. uh, make friends with penguins, make friends with penguins, or still make some scientific discoveries. well, naturally, don't admire it too much. how it would be too expensive tourism, because we are going uh, funding from the state budget. uh, in our main organization, the academy of sciences, and we are within the framework of the uh, uh, ongoing state program. uh, we're doing, uh, scientific research in antarctica. surely there are already some discoveries. there were made. i've heard about the fact that it was us who discovered the bacteria that can process oil. what else is it? what are you personally proud of was opened. well, i would not say, but some such fundamental discoveries that were, uh, carried out in antarctica because, well any scientific discovery to it is a very, very long way. uh, for this you need to conduct tens of hundreds of even, probably, measurement experiments there, uh, which are carried out for more than one year, and only then you can talk about some scientific author, what we were talking about, uh, about the discovery of a bacterium, yes, indeed, and there is, but let's just say it's still under study. well, it means that we need a little time, but, nevertheless, we are going to great discoveries, of course, of course, everything is carried out for the sake of this. i look at these cold pictures. straight right now, behind your back, uh, with you a little bit. uh, it's getting so cold. this is what i am leading to because this is a place where there is eternal ice and now on the one hand we have winter. but there it comes. you can say summer, yes, so this is the most favorable time to just go on an expedition. yes, it turns out ours today. uh, we conduct, uh, seasonal expeditions that coincide, let's say, with the summer season in antarctica, uh, because they are more comfortable for a person to stay. uh, there, probably, ours on this ice continent, uh, uh, uh! i want to say that our station, which we have been creating for these long years, is now ready to host year-round events. we are ready and ready to spend the winter. we have everything for this . eh, there's a little left. yes, wait a couple more expeditions and finally we will be able to stay there, well, so she said, as if we ourselves could stay our scientists will be able to stay there, and in the winter and then, really we are waiting we are waiting for a big flow information that they can bring to us from antarctica thank you very much for coming. well, good luck to all our team. thanks a lot. we are waiting for you, you understand, yes, that we just didn’t have enough to prepare, but we remind you that we spoke to the deputy head of the republican center for polar research of the national academy for belarus, igorut now we propose to sort everything out to our viewers with a concept. papa hall. republican project papa hall started yet in 2018, at the initiative of the belarusian republican youth union, it takes place throughout belarus and is implemented in educational institutions and health centers. in this project, it passes through all these territories of the republic of belarus in each regional center. in every regional center and in the city of minsk in all nine districts this project is aimed at improving the health of young people to support the institution of the family. we all understand that dads often come to work on weekdays, and on saturday we offer them absolutely free of charge to work with their children sports to actively participate in their lives, by the way, the participant of the project is easy. to do this, you need to contact the district committee of the belarusian republican youth union . regardless of the city, these projects are usually implemented on weekends on sa
