Geocryologists. Dedicated to my friend Malov Alexander Danilovich.

And in the tent minus ten degrees Celsius,
This means that today is not cold.
And outside the wind is squalling, gusty -
This means that here it is simply windy.

We are scouts of the Arctic zone,
Scientifically - geocryologists.
Only those who have never tried it call our work heroic.

We finished our ordinary day,
We took samples of the soil of the shelf zone.
In the frozen ground, having drilled pits,
We get to the blood of the earth.

Talking about glory and exploits
Here we are considered bad form.
Neither glory nor exploits are needed here -
Here confident work is respected.

If a friend dies of cold,
I will take off and give away my malitsa.
This is not considered a feat here -
This is considered ordinary friendship.

We are scouts of the Arctic zone,
Scientifically - geocryologists.
