🇷🇺 🗺️ The team of the round-the-world expedition "On the Way of Russian Round-the-World Sailors" arrived in Mumbai.

Over the course of three days, supported by the Russian House in Mumbai, expedition leader Yevgeny Kovalevsky and Chief of Staff Yulia Kalyuzhnaya met with more than 200 students and faculty from the Mumbai University, Vivek College and Shailendra College.

💬 An interesting story and live communication with real heroes who survived two rescue operations over 2.5 years of the expedition did not leave anyone indifferent: after each presentation, Eugene and Julia answered dozens of questions.

The expedition has not only historical, but also scientific and educational significance. During the journey, data on the state of water and air are collected, measurements of various environmental parameters are taken.

Based on the results of meetings with Indian educational institutions, it was decided to involve Indian schoolchildren and students in this project. The next lesson will take place on April 3 and will focus on Antarctica. The Institute of the Arctic and Antarctic (AANII) and the Indian Center for Polar and Oceanic Research are participating in its preparation.
