14.99 €
This book is about true romantics. About people who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of discovery.
In the early twentieth century, the Arctic - the last white spot on the map of the planet - beckoned brave travelers. The Arctic was the stage on which unprecedented and fabulous events unfolded. Only it was not actors who played on this stage, but brave people who explored and developed the Far North. Hundreds of people tried to reach the North Pole: on foot and on dog sleds, on airships and airplanes, on submarines and icebreakers, descended to the Pole on parachutes and went to it on skis. Brave heroes, who defied difficulties and the unknown, advanced to the North in the hope to be the first to reach the "top of the planet" and discover unknown lands. The collection includes stories about the most striking events associated with the conquest of the Arctic - you will learn the names of the famous pioneers and brave explorers of our days.
