PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A spare account of Albanov's 90-day trek over the open pack to Cape Flora. After drifting helplessly north for over a year, Albanov and ten colleagues abandon ship, and set out on foot for Franz Josef Land with a sledge, makeshift boat -- and only the map from the endpaper of Nansen's Farthest North. Of the original crew of the "Saint Anna," only Albanov and one colleague survived the ordeal. Originally published in 1917 and translated here for the first time into English.
