For the first time, as part of the Arctic-2014 high-latitude expedition, nuclear icebreakers 'Akademik Fedorov' and 'Yamal' have conducted an entire complex of geophysical research at the North Pole, according to official Russian news agency Arctic-info. Yamal and Akademik Fedorov icebreakers passed the area of the North Pole, where multipath depth sounding, gravity, magnetometric and seismic surveys were carried out. The vessels are now traveling to the West, and then they will come go down a little and will move to a different profile. The main purpose of the expedition is assessment of the hydrocarbon potential of the Russian shelf outside the 200-mile zone.
