This book tells about people with restless souls, brave romantics, who more than half a century ago chose dangerous and hard work in the Arctic on distant archipelagos in the seas of the Arctic Ocean: on Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya and Spitsbergen. Today, these names mean little to residents of megalopolises, but enthusiasts and pioneers of science, as in the fifties of the last century, strive for these harsh lands. They are attracted by the beauty and amazing secrets of the North, the comprehension of which has been going on for centuries. The next book by honorary polar explorer, Doctor of Geographical Sciences Vladislav Koryakin tells about the high price of discoveries, friendship and self-sacrifice, everyday joys and losses of Arctic explorers.
