The Noosphere icebreaker arrived in Cape Town on April 29. The vessel completed its second Antarctic season. This was reported by the press center of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.

There are three groups of researchers on the ship. In particular, after a year of work at the “Akademik Vernadskyi” station, polar explorers and polar explorers of the 27th UAE are returning home. Together with them, the members of the seasonal detachment, who performed technical and scientific tasks for several months, are returning.
