The book, which the reader opens, was written by Otto Sverdrup (1854-1930) - the famous Arctic traveler, the sailor, satellite and the like-minded person, Nansen, for four years he headed the team of the legendary ship "Fram". In 1898-1902, Sverdrup was led by his own expedition to the "Fram", which traced and hit a number of islands in the Canadian Arctic Arkipelago, later called Sverdruup, and also examined almost all the sheds between them. And this is not a complete list of research achievements of brave Norwegian. No wonder on the emblem of the Norwegian Polar Institute, three profiles are depicted: Nansen, Amundsen and Sverdrup.
In the book "under the Russian flag" with all the directness, striving to be extremely accurate, not neglecting the smallest details, Otto Schurrup tells about the serious, moments - a deadly dangerous journey on the Russian ship "Eclipse". The purpose of the journey was to search for Arctic expeditions G.Ya. Sedova, V.A. Rusanova and G.L. Brusilova. The noble task set in front of the Sverdrup team does not at all fade from the listing of the products taken on board, from the description of how Sensuo and economically were able to insulate cabins and galley, from the story about the habsting dogs, from the description of the comrades of Sverdrup on swimming . On the contrary: the famous traveler looks like the pages of his memories as an indigestion owner of the ship, without care and whose supervision we would have a disastrous for all team members. The feather of Sverdrup is idle and truthfully, and in this - the vast advantage of the book.
The practical result of the expedition under the leadership of Otto Sverdruup was the salvation of the crews of the ships "Taimyr" and "Vaigach", which made up the hydrographic expedition of the Arctic Ocean, which also member among the missing. With great warmth, Sveruprup about Russian sailors, noting their strength, discipline and soulfulness.
