Their behaviour helps track climate change, krill populations&#8217; adundance (their primary food source), and broader ecological trends across the region.

Founder Marta Turetska recalls designing the first \u201cpenguin\u201d socks herself, thinking it would be fun. To complete the set, she added two more pairs and named the trio \u201cVernadsky\u201d\u2014in honor of the Ukrainian Antarctic station.<\/p>\n<p>When designers joined the team, they updated the popular sock set several times, but it always returned to the shopping shelves. Fans loved it\u2014including staff of the National Antarctic Scientific Center (NASC), who took the socks with them to the polar station!<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the mutual admiration between Dodo Socks and NASC grew into a friendly partnership, resulting in a special collection dedicated to Ukrainian polar explorers.<\/p>\n<p>The collection now includes durable merino trekking socks designed to keep feet warm even in Antarctic cold. The gentoo penguin design \u2014 a symbol of the station\u2014is accented with icy stripes and colours. Bright orange beanies with a small tag in Ukrainian flag colors and a jacquard label featuring NASC logo elements protect against wind and chill. Velcro-backed patches bring a touch of polar life to everyday cloth, featuring Vernadsky Station, the Noosfera ice class vessel, and Antarctic wildlife like whales.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2438821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dodosocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/photo_2-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new Antarctic collection has travelled 15,000 kilometres to the station, where Ukrainian polar explorers will test it in real Antarctic conditions.
