[Book] In the Land of White Death: An Epic Story of Survival in the Siberian Arctic by Valerian Albanov. Modern Library (2000). This historical book is a meticulous journal type of storytelling about a flight to Franz Josef Land from an ice-stuck ship between 1912-1914 using the knowledge of the map from Fridtjof Nansen’s 1893-96 expedition.
