The 28th Soviet Antarctic Expedition was an expedition to Antarctica undertaken by the Soviet Union and the German Democratic Republic from 1982 to 1984.[1] It was led by N. Kornilov and A. Artemyev.[1] The summer Soyuz station was established during this expedition.[2][3]

Extensive hydrological data of the lakes in Central Wohlthat Massif was conducted on this expedition.[4] An 885 m (2,904 ft) ice core, called the Komosmolskaia ice core, was extracted in 1983.[5]

Although the GDR could not build a research station as a result of not having signed the Antarctic Treaty, it operated a research station near the Soviet Novolazarevskaya station.[6]

In 1983, six Germans joined the 28th Soviet Antarctic Expedition to research meteorology, physics of the upper atmosphere, geology and geophysics.[6]
