Explorers have unearthed a clue to one of Russian literature's big unsolved mysteries.
They have found the bones of a crew-member of Captain Georgiy Brusilov's famous expedition to the Arctic Sea in 1912.
The captain disappeared without explanation during the trip.
This incident became the basis for the best-selling adventure novel, "Two Captains” – and later for a movie.
Brusilov's ship left St. Petersburg at the beginning of last century. It was the first Russian expedition to sail the Northern Marine Way.
However, only two crew members made it back alive.

In August i had the pleasure of discussing this find with a member of the Moscow researchers (I was part of returning North Pole Expedition) on Franz Josef and find such finding absolutely fascinating, especially after visiting the historic huts on Ross sea, Antarctica. I trust I and others can be kept up to date with progress as to the results of the research of this find.
