in Antarctica, and those scientists who were supposed to change their colleagues were at risk.\u00a0After all, if the virus enters the continent, which will soon be blocked by ice and cold, then the situation could become catastrophic.\u00a0Despite this, work in Antarctica continues, but because of the pandemic and the closure of borders, it was not so easy to get there: the participants of the

mid-March, the whole group went to the airport: in front of them was waiting for a difficult route with several transfers and border crossings.\u00a0The flight was delayed, negotiations were ongoing, after which scientists eventually managed to get to Istanbul.\u00a0The further route lay in Colombia, but the flight overseas did not take place: due to worldwide quarantine and closure of borders,
