The North Pole 1 Soviet drifting scientific research station became the first such station in history. Members of an expedition headed by Ivan Papanin worked there for 274 days. In late January 1938, the ice-floe accommodating the research team started dwindling steadily, and rescue teams flew to the rescue. This photo shows rescue workers removing members of Ivan Papanin's research team from the disintegrated ice-floe.
