  One of the most prominent Soviet Arctic scientists of the 1920s and 1930s, Mikhail Mikhailovich Ermolaev was a geologist, physicist, and oceanographer. After working in the Arctic for some 13 years, he was arrested by the NKVD, convicted on a trumped-up charge of 'sabotage', and sent to the Gulag for ten years. This is a biography of Ermolaev.
