About the book: 2004 / Hyperborea, Arctida, Sannikov Land... Did they really exist or were they born of fantasy? What were they looking for in the North and why did polar explorers die? Can prehistoric animals exist in the tundra and in icy lakes today? Sorcerers of the North, shamans, the mysterious people of the “white-eyed miracle” - where is the truth about them, and where is the fiction? The writer and traveler, head of the research program “Secrets of Times and Peoples” Vadim Burlak tried to answer these questions in his new book.
