In November 2020, Korchunov announced that Seoul is creating a fund to work with Russia in the hydrogen energy industry, and work on the Snowflake station could become the first project of the fund.

The Snowflake international Arctic Station should become a fully autonomous diesel-free facility powered by renewable energy sources and hydrogen fuel. The station will consist of several dome-type buildings connected by passages. The location of the buildings from above resembles a snowflake, which is why the station project received this name.
