Caption

"Arctic Scientist, Gulag Survivor: The Biography of Mikhail Mikhailovich Ermolaev, 1905-1991" (University of Calgary Press) is a fascinating personal account of one the most prominent Soviet Arctic scientists of the 1920s and 1930s, Mikhail Mikhailovich Ermolaev. A geologist, physicist, and oceanographer, Ermolaev was arrested by the Russian police force, convicted on a trumped-up charge of “sabotage,” and sent to the Gulag for ten years.
