The concept of using drift ice as a means of scientific exploration of the Arctic, on so-called drift ice stations, originated in the Soviet Union in 1937, when the first such station in the world, North Pole-1, started operations.
Flickr user Razbalex has posted a big archive of photos from the third drift ice station North Pole-3 (in operation April 1954 to April 1955).
See all of the photos in Razbalex's Flickr set.

I can't believe this, what a treasure! Wonderful (and exactly the kind of material I'm collecting for a project...)!
Ooh, I'm very curious about that project ... :3
