50 years of the NCU Polar Station in photos
The Nicolaus Copernicus University Polar Station is organising a photo exhibition entitled “50 Years of the Nicolaus Copernicus University Polar Station on Spitsbergen.” The exhibition will open on June 27 at 6:00 p.m. at Spitsbergen Kunstnersenter, Artists Center (vei 100.2, Longyearbyen, Svalbard).
In the 2024/2025 academic year, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń will celebrate a triple anniversary: the 80th anniversary of the University, the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Medical Academy in Bydgoszcz, and the 20th anniversary of its merger with Nicolaus Copernicus University and the establishment of the Collegium Medicum. However, these are not the only reasons to celebrate. This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the Nicolaus Copernicus University Polar Station on Spitsbergen. It was on June 27, 1975, on Kaffiøyr, that the first Toruń Polar Expedition began, which marked the start of the activities of one of the oldest and most recognisable Polish research stations in the Arctic.
On this occasion, a photo exhibition entitled "50 Years of the Nicolaus Copernicus University Polar Station on Spitsbergen" has been prepared. The works on display show the history, everyday life, and uniqueness of the Toruń Station - a place that for many has become not only a space for scientific work, but also a second home, a place created with passion, commitment, and dedication.
The exhibition will be open until September 5, 2025.
