July 5, 2016 - The expedition participants set up a camp at Cape Sakhanin and prepared a research station inside an abandoned cabin. Afterward, they embarked on the research work as well as photography tasks. Bishop Iakov and father Roman consecrated the cabin. 

​

After the works had been completed, the expedition sailed off to Vaygach Island, leaving photographers and rangers at Novaya Zemlya. The R/V Kartesh will soon return to Cape Sakhanin to deliver a new group of researchers.
