Siberian Passage: An Explorer's Search into the Russian Arctic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798869056016)

Siberian Passage, first published in 1949, is a fascinating look at the land and peoples of far northern Russia in the early 1900s. The author was a member of a Russian scientific expedition which explored the then little known boreal and arctic regions of Siberia, and describes the lives of the natives they encountered, travels by dog-sled, dealing with the many difficulties in travel, including wild extremes in temperature, and provides an insightful overview of the region.
