At the 19th International Wildlife Festival "Golden Turtle," members of the Moscow Youth Antarctic Expedition presented the results of their research. Their work was based on samples collected on the Earth's southernmost continent and then studied jointly with researchers from the P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology and the S.N. Vinogradsky Institute of Microbiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This was reported by the Moscow Institute of Oceanology's press service. Department of Education and Science.

Thus, Alexandra Shishkina, a student at School No. 1553 named after V.I. Vernadsky, and Elizaveta Brailovskaya, a student at School No. 883 named after Hero of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General M.F. Lukin, studied the water in the lakes of the Schirmacher Oasis. The girls discovered that the difference in elevation between the lakes leads to differences in the chemical composition and composition of microbial communities. To obtain their results, they measured the pH, electrical conductivity, and ion concentrations of the water, and analyzed DNA fragments of the microorganisms.

Alexandra Shishkina also studied the composition of rock particles in a glacier located near the Schirmacher Oasis. She melted ice collected in Antarctica, passed the resulting water through special filters, and examined the trapped particles using an electron microscope. After processing the data, the student discovered that the number of rock particles in the glacier had increased significantly over the past 100 years. Consequently, the rocks have begun to weather more rapidly, which is directly related to rising air temperatures. This increase in particle content provides further evidence that global warming is also affecting Antarctica.

The Moscow Youth Antarctic Expedition took place from November 26 to December 17, 2024, with the support of the Moscow Department of Education and Science and the Moscow branch Movements of the FirstIt was led by renowned explorer Matvey Shparo, director of the Travel Laboratory supplementary education center and recipient of the Order of Courage, and Ivan Smirnov, PhD in biology and winner of the Moscow Teachers of the Year competition and leader of research expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic.

Moscow schoolchildren and college students were eligible to participate in the expedition. To do so, they had to pass several selection stages: the Antarctic Dictation, an adventure race, a youth forum, a professional skills competition, and a training camp. Following these stages, 13 finalists were selected to travel to the southernmost continent.

During the journey, the participants split into two teams. The schoolchildren conducted research on behalf of Russian research institutes, while the students maintained the expedition's operations: monitoring its members' health, managing communications, preparing food, and maintaining the mobile living module.

The journey lasted 21 days, 11 of which were spent in Antarctica. During this time, the participants completed six routes totaling over 63 kilometers, studied the mineralization and acidity of six natural bodies of water, and collected 96 samples of water, air, and biological material.

Around 80,000 schoolchildren and college students in Moscow—one in every 20 students—are involved in tourism. The city's "Route Built" project is aimed at them. Over the past year, students have completed nearly 300 hikes across Russia and other countries. Destinations include Kazbek, Tien Shan, North Ossetia, Altai, Kamchatka, and the Arctic.

This year, activists from the Gagarinsky District Youth Chamber have already completed eight humanitarian flights to the Special Military Operations Zone (SMO) and new regions of Russia. They delivered over 10 tons of useful supplies. The latest shipment includes chainsaw consumables, generator cables, batteries, grinders, axes, tire tubes, and camouflage nets.

Any support is important

Volunteer work in the district has been ongoing for several years and unites hundreds of people. One of the activists is Ilya Ermolkin, a graduate student at Lomonosov Moscow State University. As a child, he and his classmates visited hospitals and veterans' centers.

"My parents taught me how important it is to give people simple human attention. The Orthodox school I attended often organized trips to hospitals where elderly and seriously ill patients were treated. I saw that even simply reading a book or a poem brightened their day," says Ilya Ermoolkin.

In 2023, he joined the Peresvet-9 humanitarian group and, over the course of a year and a half, he and his colleagues traveled throughout virtually the entire SVO zone, as well as the Belgorod and Kursk regions, assisting not only combat units but also military hospitals and civilian centers.

After joining the youth chamber, Ilya shared his experience with his colleagues. This marked the beginning of a new phase of volunteer work in the district. Ilya's sincere conviction and practical knowledge inspired his colleagues, who joined in collecting and sending humanitarian aid.

Support in word and deed

The Gagarinsky District activists' assistance is aimed not only at the military but also at civilians. During one of their trips, the volunteers met people who had lost property and loved ones, which inspired them to expand their humanitarian mission. This is how the "Children of Donbas: Strength in Unity" project was created. It includes not only regular humanitarian aid trips but also the organization of patriotic events.

For example, in August, as part of the project, volunteers delivered supplies to Donetsk for Lidiya Kovaleva, who is raising over 40 adopted children. The family received essentials: hygiene products, household appliances, kitchen utensils, drinking water, and other humanitarian aid.

Ilya Ermolkin noted that the volunteers are delighted with the response to their initiative. Since its inception, the project has united over 100 people from across the country. Humanitarian aid has arrived from the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Syzran, Tver, and even the Komi Republic.

Anyone can join the volunteers in collecting aid. Concerned Muscovites are also invited to deliver humanitarian parcels. Donations can be made at Leninsky Prospekt, Building 60/2, Entrance 5, Monday through Friday, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
