Polar Explorer Day, marked on May 21, celebrates the establishment of the world's first drifting ice station in the North Pole in 1937.
The Severny Polyus-1 research station was opened on a drifting ice floe and was used by four explorers who drifted for nine months from the North Pole toward southern Greenland, conducting numerous scientific observations.
May 21 has long been celebrated in parts of northern Russia as a holiday. The Voice of Russia.
