The story of one of the first expeditions to explore the Russian Arctic is full of vivid and dramatic events. The schooner "Svyataya Anna," which set out from St. Petersburg in July 1912, found itself trapped in the ice of the Kara Sea by October, rapidly being carried north by the current toward Novaya Zemlya. Unable to escape the ice trap, part of the crew decided to return to the mainland. The journey took four months instead of the planned one. Of the eleven men who abandoned the ship in April 1914, only two—navigator Valerian Albanov and sailor Alexander Konrad—reached Franz Josef Land.

This publication brings together for the first time both testimonies of the surviving crew members of the "Svyataya Anna."
