Since 1957, the feeling that I should write about my fallen comrades did not leave me. I sailed again and again to Antarctica. For them, that expedition was the first and the last. I tried to write a story. But even the proportion of fiction, necessary in this genre, seemed out of place to me.- Vladimir Igorevich Bardin , 1981 [3]
