This 1952 study was the first to detail the development of the Northern Sea Route spanning the coastal waters above Siberia. It offers a synthesis of information from Russian journals and periodicals, collected at a time when access to academic sources was restricted. It remains historically pertinent to the subject of polar exploration.

This book, originally published in 1965, examines the Russian advance into the north (beyond the Arctic circle in Europe and latitude 600N. in Asia) from their first appearance there until 1959. Dr Armstrong's study was intended not merely for geographers and historians, but also for courses on settlement problems.
