Wake up, then wash and clean the Arctic: Why volunteers are cleaning uninhabited islands

There is an anteater-shaped island in the Kara Sea. It is littered with rusted vehicle parts and fuel barrels that were left there after the first wave of Artic exploration in the 1960s–1970s. Vilkitsky Island was a stopping point in the great expeditions but became a dumpsite after the state’s tasks were fulfilled. The Green Arctic organization has been sponsoring a waste cleaning expedition that has attracted volunteers from various countries for a second year.
