Local Legend - Secret Soviet Expeditions to the North Pole

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Sunday, 3 November 2013 | Views [224] | Scholarship Entry

I've been always attracted by the land of the North Pole so this story got me really hooked as well as the man who told it.
The man who talks about those expeditions is a true legend, he was one of the first two who jumped on the Pole's land with a parachute (imagine those parachutes, nearly a century ago: chances to stay alive fully depended on luck), while taking part in those expeditions during that time has been already a legendary event itself, besides he was also a personal doctor to Yury Gagarin (but this is another story).
