 | | Second edition of this lavishly illustrated commemorative work on the fateful Arctic expedition of the Cheliuskin and the daring aerial rescue of the crew, one of the most dramatic episodes in the history of aviation and an important tale of Arctic exploration. |
 | | The Soviet steamship Cheliuskin, commanded by Otto IUl'evich Shmidt (1891-1956), made an expedition in the winter of 1933-34 into the Arctic waters of the Northern Maritime Route, which was a major transportation line between European ports and those of the Far East. |
 | | The present work celebrates the expedition; the crew of the Cheliuskin, for then bravery and ingenuity; and the crews of the air rescue team, for their heroism. |
