Expedition caravan in the Akkem River valley, 1895. Creator: Vasilii Vasilevich Sapozhnikov
Expedition caravan in the Akkem River valley, 1895. From a collection of 60 photos by V.V. Sapozhnikov (1861-1924), a geographer, botanist, ethnographer, and professor at Tomsk State University (the first institution of higher education established in Siberia), who made significant contributions to the study of the South Siberian region. The photographs were taken during his expeditions to the Altai Mountains in 1895-99 and later reproduced from his negatives for the Altai State Regional Studies Museum in Barnaul. The collection is unique for its complex and spectacular views, covering a variety of geographic features of the South Siberian region. In many of the photos, Sapozhnikov or other members of the expeditions are shown, struggling with difficult terrain and swollen rivers. Sapozhnikov's scientific activity was closely connected with the Russian Geographical Society, to which he was elected in 1898

Expedition Caravan in the Akkem River Valley, 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Russian geographer, botanist, ethnographer, and professor Vasilii Vasilevich Sapozhnikov during his explorations of the South Siberian region. This image is part of a collection of 60 photographs that Sapozhnikov took during his expeditions to the Altai Mountains between 1895 and 1899. The collection is now housed at the Altai State Regional Studies Museum in Barnaul. The photograph depicts a caravan of expedition members making their way through the Akkem River valley. The rugged terrain and swollen river add to the challenging conditions they faced during their journey. Sapozhnikov's scientific work was instrumental in the study of the South Siberian region, and his photographs provide a unique and complex perspective of the area's geographic features. Sapozhnikov's scientific activity was closely linked with the Russian Geographical Society, to which he was elected in 1898. His contributions to the exploration and understanding of the South Siberian region were significant, and his photographs offer a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of early scientific expeditions. The image of the expedition caravan in the Akkem River valley is a testament to the determination and perseverance of Sapozhnikov and his team as they navigated the difficult terrain and conditions of the South Siberian wilderness. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a reminder of the importance of scientific exploration and discovery.
