"North Pole 1" was the first in history drifting station used for scientific hydrological and geographical research of the Polar area. The station was opened on June 6, 1937 some 20 kilometers from the North Pole. The purpose of the station was to conduct scientific research in the Arctic region, including meteorological observations, oceanographic studies, and research on ice conditions. It aimed to gather data on weather patterns, sea ice movement, and other environmental factors to improve understanding of the Arctic climate and its role in global weather systems. Station operated for 9 months while the ice floe travelled 2,850 kilometers. The expedition ended on February 19, 1938.
