The book "Sannikov Land" by geologist and traveler Vladimir Afanasyevich Obruchev is a science fiction novel beloved by many generations of readers. The edition is accompanied by up-to-date commentaries that allow you to learn more about the natural environment of the Arctic, famous pioneers, the most important expeditions and outstanding discoveries. Two books by geologist and traveler Vladimir Obruchev invite the reader to look into a huge museum of natural history and anthropology - Sannikov Land. Many consider it a myth, but Matvey Goryunov has no doubt that there really is an island-oasis in the Arctic Ocean. Together with him and his team the reader will go in search of the legendary Sannikov Land, admire basalt rocks, dense forests and hot lakes, get acquainted with the primitive tribes living here, meet mammoths, cave bears and woolly rhinoceroses. On the margins of the book and in the flaps there are many curious details about the expedition, famous pioneers, everyday life, traditions and beliefs of northern peoples, the structure of the Earth's crust, Arctic nature, as well as tips on how to determine the sides of the world by the sun or make a plan of the area. Bright illustrations help to present the landscapes and colorful life of the island's inhabitants, while photographs, maps and engravings turn reading the book into a real journey through an incredible land.
