A picture taken on July 27, 2010 shows members of an expedition digging on the coast of Franz Josef Land in Russia. Russian explorers said they had found a sailor's log from aboard a legendary Arctic expedition that vanished as it sought to forge through the ice-choked Northeast Passage in 1912.

This book is a page turner. While reading it I was freezing to death in mid May. I got the impression that the ship, smashed up, drifted north-west, past Svalbard, towards Greenland. It's pretty exciting that these artifacts were findable.

Wow, this happened this a few years before the epic story of the Endurance - yet a tragically different ending. Folks who find this story interesting would find it well worth their time to check out the story of Sir Earnest Shackleton and the Endurance. I have a DVD and book of their saga and it’s really inspiring.
