Dexter Stanley, head of the zoology department at one of the eastern universities of America, found under the stairs in his department building a large wooden box with the inscription “Arctic Expedition 1834”. Despite the fact that almost a century and a half has passed since 1834 and the box is covered with almost a four-inch layer of dust, Dexter constantly has the feeling that someone is moving in the box. But still he is going to open it.
