By mid-September, Captain Brusilov's expedition had reached the Kara Sea through the Yugorsky Shar Strait, but soon became icebound near the western shores of the Yamal Peninsula and was drifting helplessly towards the north.

In the spring of 1914, some members of the St. Anna's crew, led by Captain Brusilov's lieutenant, Valerian Albanov, abandoned the ship and decided to walk south over the drifting ice. Valerian Ivanovich Albanov (Валериан Иванович Альбанов (1881 - 1919 was a Russian navigator best known for being one of only two survivors of the ill-fated The only two survivors - navigator Valerian Albanov and sailor Alexander Konrad - managed to reach Cape Flora in Franz Joseph Land.
