Ukrainian Antarctic Station at Marina Point on Galindez Island. The Vernadsky Research Base . Ukraine took over the operation of the base in February 1996, [2] which was sold by the UK for a symbolic one pound. The cost of disassembling the base with good environmental practices and standards would be too costly. The National Antarctic Scientific Center of Ukraine continues a programme of meteorology , upper atmospheric physics , geomagnetism , ozone , seismology , glaciology , ecology , biology and physiology research.
