EEIU goes to Antarctica!
Prof. Gennady Polikarpov, EEIU Vice President, and Dr. Sergei Gulin, Chair of the EEIU Antarctic Chapter and a Leading Scientist of the A.O. Kovalevsky Institute of Biology of Southern Seas (IBSS), have proposed establishing the EEIU Antarctica Chapter on the base of the Ukrainian Antarctic Station 'Akademik Vernadsky' (western Antarctica: Galindez Island). The primary goal of the Chapter is to extend the EEIU's influence to the 'Ice Continent' that is presently an object of growing interest for ecological tourism.
This idea has been supported by Dr. Valeriy A. Litvinov, EEIU Fellow and Director of the Ukrainian Antarctic Centre. Thanks to his kind assistance, EEIU Brochures were recently sent to the Ukrainian Antarctic Station for the purpose of disseminating the eco-ethical concepts and theses among international visitors and eco-tourists, including the teams of the nearest British, USA, Polish and other Antarctic stations.
The Antarctic Chapter will be supervised generally by Prof. Polikarpov and Dr. Litvinov. Dr. Gulin, who took part recently in the 7th Ukrainian Antarctic expedition, will be the acting Chapter Chair until formal elections can be held.
Any ideas, comments and suggestions related to organisation, principles and further activity of the Antarctic Chapter are invited for wider discussion.
