Duel with the Arctic. Victories and Tragedies of Russian Expeditions

«The book "Duel with the Arctic" by Yana Shklyarskaya is simple and beautiful in its concept — to tell the story of the exploration of the Arctic clearly, accurately, and wittily, accompanied by vivid and bright illustrations by artist Mikhail Akimov. Each new generation discovers the Arctic anew, and each generation needs such a new book that speaks to it in a modern language.
The second chapter is aptly titled "Why Do We Need the Arctic?". A very serious question, I agree. How to answer it correctly, understandably, and without unnecessary heroic pathos? Yana Shklyarskaya does it!» — Evgeny Tenetov, Director of the Northern Maritime Museum, Arkhangelsk
