The image, created by renowned illustrator Achille Beltrame in 1934, depicts the dramatic moment when a massive ice bank detached, leaving these brave men at the mercy of treacherous waters. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary rescue effort as Soviet seaplanes drop supplies to sustain the stranded fishermen in their desperate fight for survival. Later on, various government rescue steamers arrive to assist them further. The photograph showcases both human resilience and nature's unpredictable power. Beltrame's vivid colors bring life to this frozen landscape, emphasizing the harsh conditions faced by these courageous individuals.

"The Dramas of the Thaw" is more than just a work of art; it tells a gripping tale that resonates with viewers even decades after its creation.
