Synopsis
This recounting of a 1912 disaster tells how a crew of a Russian ship survived on provisions for over a year and a half while frozen in the Siberian Arctic and how, almost without hope, some of the crew decided to try to make it across land. Only two survived.

Industry Reviews
"Much of the book's touted value comes from the fact that it relates Albanov's own account of his own ordeal, his ipsissima verba; in light of which its haphazard translation history is especially baffling....Somewhere, lapping at the margins of Albanov's experience, is a great human drama; but it is not revealed in the material that has survived. IN THE LAND OF WHITE DEATH is what it is: one man's lean chronicle of an incredible journey of survival. For anything more, the reader must look to his own imagination."
New York Times Book Review - Caroline Alexander (12/10/2000)
