The Russian Arctic National Park released video, Wednesday, showing what it believes are the remains of a World War II-era Nazi meteorological station called the 'Schatzgraber' or 'Treasure Hunter'.
Around 500 artefacts were discovered on Alexandra Land in the middle of August 2016, with the expedition ending in October.
Expedition members say the findings have significant historical value, after they unearthed pieces of military uniforms, ammunition, household objects, and meteorological equipment. Some of the items are reportedly dated as from 1942, with others bearing Nazi swastikas.
According to archives, the station was apparently operational from 1942, transmitting regular meteorological reports. In 1944, Treasure Hunter personnel were allegedly evacuated due to an outbreak of illness after some ate polar bear meat. The station was destroyed in the 1950s.
The findings are now being transported to Arkhangelsk for further examination and a separate exhibition will be organised later this year to show the findings to the public.
