Hello Nancy.
This is Nick I hope you are having a great time with your parents in Sevastopol. This is my
message about our project "Interesting places in Russia". There is still a lot of time before we must
finish it but I think we must start preparing it. I have found some information about Lake Jack
London. I think this information is fascinating In fact, Jack London is a famous American writer who
has never been to Russia but there is some interesting information about a lake named after him.
It is in the Magadan Region in the east of our country where the winter is very frosty while the
highest temperature in summer is +12 °C. So this place is not popular with tourists.
The most common legend about the origin of the name is that when geologists reached the lake,
they found a volume of Jack London's novel "Martin Eden" on its shores. Well, that sounds romantic,
but not very realistic.
I have found some information about the novel too. The main character of the novel, Martin Eden,
was a poor worker and sailor. London wrote the book in 1909, after he returned from Alaska, where
he was trying to find some gold.
So, it seems that the writer and the lake have nothing in common. I don't think that anybody had
brought a book to the lake before the geologists got to this place.

However, this legend became very popular among local people, and now there is a fun local custom -
people who are able to reach the lake leave a copy of "Martin Eden" on the shore of the lake, so that
others who come here may find it. It seems to me that people who visit this place have heard about
the legend. This way the legend has become alive.
