Imagine being a fisherman whose boat is blocked in the ice around the Svalbard. Imagine going on foot on the island to find a shelter and coming back the next day to find the ice has gone away with your boat. Imagine having left a gun, 12 bullets and a lighter. Imagine surviving this place during 6 years in the 18th century.
That's what happened to 4 russians in 1743 and since I know this story keeps me in total awe for this place.
