The Baranov ice base first opened in 1986 and was then abandoned in 1996. It reopened in 2013. A research crew on site is engaged in a wide range of Arctic studies including weather forecasting, air-, sea- and ice research, as well as medical and biological, and permafrost research.
The reopening of the ice base came as the crew from the North Pole-40 research station in 2013 hastily had to evacuate the ice floe on which is was based and move personnel and equipment to land-based facilities. They chose the abandoned premises of the Baranov base, and the station has since been in operation.
