The Frigid Sea (Russian: Море студёное) is a 1954 Soviet drama film directed by Yuri Yegorov.[1] [2] [3]
Several Pomor fishermen were attacked by sea pirates and were forced to spend more than one year on a desert island. Many considered them dead but almost all of them managed to survive.
Prototypes of the film's heroes were four Russian hunters from Mezen, led by forage Aleksey Khimkov, who spent more than 6 years on the uninhabited island of Edgeøya in the southeastern part of the Spitsbergen archipelago, which in the Russian North was called Little Brun. Based on their stories, the French scientist Pierre Louis Leroy, who lived and worked in Russia, published in 1760 an essay.[4]
