Ukrainian polar explorers recorded a rare natural phenomenon — complete calm in the area of the Antarctic station "Akademik Vernadskyi". This unique phenomenon, which occurs rarely, amazes with its beauty: frozen water and air, together with ice blocks, create a fantastic effect.
According to the National Antarctic Science Center, the calm that was observed near the Ukrainian polar station located on Galindez Island is an extremely rare phenomenon. The island, located in the Southern Ocean, is part of the group of Argentine islands of the Wilhelm Archipelago.
This incredible moment was captured by the biologist of the 29th Ukrainian Arctic Expedition, Tetiana Baglai, during a work trip by boat. She shared her impressions of this phenomenon: "In this area of the Antarctic, strong winds are constantly blowing, often with precipitation. But when it's calm, you can take extremely beautiful photos in the ocean. The world around seems to stop, and the huge icebergs, clouds and mountains of the continent are fantastically reflected in the mirror of water."
