Arctic behind the facet of science fiction

What did the Soviet man imagine the Arctic of the future? What of the bold designs was implemented in practice and in what forms this was done? How did the fate of romantic spotlights develop? From ancient times, the Arctic attracted its colossal capabilities - primarily by natural wealth. However, on the way to them stood the harsh nature of the Far North. This book is devoted to projects invented to transform the Arctic: climate change, the creation of convenient transport corridors and special polar equipment, the construction of special villages and cities in the Arctic. Due to various circumstances, many of them turned out to be fantastic.
Perhaps the ideas that the book tells of will rethink in the future. The authors - candidates of historical sciences, employees of the Arctic Museum and Exhibition Center (St. Petersburg) - hope that the book will warn against rash decisions in relation to the nature of the Arctic. When writing, sources were used - from archival documents to works of fantastic literature. The publication is designed for a wide range of readers
