In July and August 2019, the Grott ground penetrating radar was used as part of the field work of the Russian Arctic National Park, a federally funded institution, to survey areas polluted by oil products on Alexandra Island in the Franz Josef Land Archipelago. The results obtained are discussed and conclusions are drawn about the prospects of using the method of ultra-wideband electromagnetic sounding to solve environmental problems in the permafrost zone in the Arctic region.
