The Arctic during World War II: Three polar stations bring victory closer

The Soviet people waged a fierce battle against the Nazi invaders in the air, on land and at sea. Ordinary Soviet citizens working as meteorologists at polar stations performed daily feats of labor all four years of the Great Patriotic War. We talked to historian Yevgeny Yermolov, head of the Cultural and Historical Heritage Department at Russian Arctic National Park, and learned about the heroic feats of three polar stations, now located in the park, and their role during the Great Patriotic War.
