Arkhangelsk Regional Office

The Arkhangelsk regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society was organized in 1944.

All this time, serious creative and scientific work was carried out. The Department consists of 12 local branches that conduct active research and educational activities in the region.

The main focus of work in recent years has been the exploration and study of the Arctic. Arkhangelsk geographers take part in organizing expeditions to explore the cultural and natural heritage of the Arctic and the monuments of its development, including the history of polar stations. A number of scientific conferences dedicated to the Arctic are held annually: "Lomonosov and the Arctic", "The History of Arctic exploration and development – from the past to the future", "Space Technologies in the development of Arctic territories", "The role of Arkhangelsk in Arctic research".
