The station worked two shifts - from 1972 to 1973 and from 1973 to 1974.
The feature of the drifting station SP-21 was that, unlike most stations that were located on long-term ice pack islands, the SP-21 started to drift on a regular, relatively fragile ice floe: there was no pack in the right area. Therefore, the head of the SP-21 station was appointed an experienced specialist - G.I. Kizino, for whom it was the seventh wintering. [one]

First shift (1972-1973)
The first shift worked from May 1, 1972 to April 26, 1973. The duration of the drift was 360 days.
Beginning of drift at 74 ° 42 'N and 175 ° 58 'E, ending at 79 ° 58' N and 156 ° 57 'East The total drift amounted to 1600 km, occurred at a speed of 4.44 km / day. When the station was opened, the size of the ice floe was 4000x4000 m at the end of the shift - 3800x3600 m, the ice thickness was 490 cm.

During the first shift, 393 tons of cargo were delivered. In total, 108 people visited the ice floe.
Also, 190 aircraft ( An-24 , Il-14 , Li-2 , An-2 ) were taken at the station for the first shift. In the spring of 1973, a mobile unit of the air high-latitude expedition "North" was based on the ice, for which fuel and lubricants were brought. For the same purpose, a remote base operated at a distance of 300 km east of the station until May 9, 1973.
Second shift (1973-1974)

In the course of the work of the second shift of the SP-21, in particular, a prototype of equipment for measuring the thickness of ice from an airplane was tested, instrumental observations of the relative movements of ice were carried out, full-scale tests of the new automatic drifting radio meteorological station AGMS-L were started.

During the second shift, 108 tons of cargo were delivered. A total of 104 people visited the ice floe.
Accepted 90 aircraft ( IL-14 , Li-2 ).
Facts
- SP-21 was used as the starting base for the North-25 expedition , which performed deep-sea oceanological and meteorological observations at 182 points of the Arctic Ocean . [one]
- In 1973, at the drifting station SP-21, the first analysis of water samples for the content of oil and oil products was carried out. [2]
- The SP-21 stationery company envelopes with a two-color pattern were prepared for the second shift landing: against the background of the northern lights, the pennant of a drifting station with the contours of the Arctic basin and a symbolic broken line of drift is depicted. [3]
