Andrei Kapitsa: Columbus of the 20th Century

Many have never heard of the hero of this book, although he was the son of the great physicist Peter Kapitsa, a well-known geographer who contributed to solving many scientific problems. Andrei Petrovich Kapitsa managed to make one of the... most important geographical discoveries of modern times - predicting the existence of a giant freshwater lake under the ice of Antarctica, which justifiably allows us to call him the "Columbus of the 20th century".
The life of this outstanding scientist, full of travels and searches, losses and gains, is described in his first detailed biography, created by Mikhail Slipenchuk and Alexey Shcherbakov based on the family archive of A. P. Kapitsa.
