Bibliographic description: Kozlovskiy, E.V., Alekseeva, T.A., Serovetnikov, S.S., Sokolov, V.T. The analysis of special ship ice observation data was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, grant no. 23-17-00161.. Arktika: ekologiya i ekonomika.

Abstract:
The paper presents the results of processing special shipboard observations of the ice cover in the Arctic basin, carried out along the route from the Franz Josef Land archipelago to the North Pole in the summer of 2024. The latitudinal distribution of ice concentration along the route of the nuclear icebreaker “50 Let Pobedy” to the North Pole is presented. The results of assessing the thickness and age composition of level ice (beyond hummocky formations) are obtained based on visual observations and using a ship TV complex.
