"Captain Brusilov underestimated the Kara Sea and by October 15th 1912, the Saint Anna had become trapped in the ice. We survived the first winter well but the following summer came and went without any prospect of a thaw. The second winter was brutal and we had to concede we were trapped.”

 

Based on a true story A World Beyond Man is the tale of Valerian Albanov. His is a saga of determination and betrayal; of man against savage nature.

 

An intimate telling of an epic story of ice and polar bears, determination and betrayal, adventure and death.
