Sobre este artículo
In 1912, the Saint Anna, a Russian exploration vessel in search of fertile hunting grounds, was frozen into the polar ice cap, trapping her crew aboard. For nearly a year and a half, they struggled to stay alive. As all hope of rescue faded, they realized their best chance of survival might be to set out on foot, across hundreds of miles of desolate ice, with their lifeboats dragged behind them on sledges, in hope of reaching safety. Twenty of them chose to stay aboard; thirteen began the trek; of them all, only two survived.
Sinopsis
Valerian Albanov was born in 1881 in Voronezh, Russia, and graduated in 1904 from the Naval College of St. Petersburg.

Jon Krakauer is the bestselling author of Into the Wild and Into Thin Air , and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1998. David Roberts is the author of over a dozen books on mountaineering, exploration, and archaeology, including, most recently, True Summit . His work regularly appears in National Geographic Adventure , Smithsonian , and Outside , among other publications.
