Marvellous photography! The cousin of my great-grandfather was L.A.H.Lamie, who was the nautical leader of the Varna. Last year I published his biography. This is a welcome new vieuw of his stay on the ice of the Kara Sea. Do you have written information (logbook may be) of your grandfather? Can I get information from concerning the Varne and his personnel?
