🇷🇺❄️#OnThisDay 45 years ago, on August 17, 1977, the Soviet nuclear-powered icebreaker "Arktika" reached the North Pole for the first time in the history of navigation!

🚢 The A-77 expedition proved the possibility of year-round navigation along the shortest routes of the Arctic Ocean.

🔬 Scientists from AARI (Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute) collected unique data that led to progress in the design of icebreakers and transport vessels.

🌍 Today, Russia consistently continues to advocate for the peaceful development of the Arctic, promoting international cooperation and environmentally responsible navigation in the region using the world's most powerful icebreaker fleet.
