This pioneering volume explores the Arctic as an important and highly endangered archive of knowledge about natural as well as human history of the Anthropocene. Focusing on the Arctic as an archive means not only to investigate it as a place of human history and memory--of Arctic exploring, conquering, and colonizing--but to take into account also the specific environmental conditions of the circumpolar region: ice and permafrost. These have allowed a huge natural archive to emerge, offering rich sources for natural scientists and historians alike. Examining the debate on the notion of ("natural") archive, the cultural semantics and historicity of the meaning of concepts like "warm," "cold," "freezing," and "melting," as well as various works of literature, art, and science on Arctic topics, this volume brings together literary scholars, historians of knowledge and philosophy, art historians, media theorists, and archivologists.

Susi K. Frank is professor of East Slavic literatures and cultures at Humboldt University Berlin. Her research fields are geopoetology; literature/art and (visual) memory; literature and literary politics in (post-)imperial contexts (Russia and Soviet Union).

Kjetil Jakobsen is professor of history at Nord Universitet Bodo. From 2011 to 2014 he was Henrik Steffens professor at Humboldt-University Berlin.
