Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov, 1912. Creator: Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin

Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov, 1912. From a collection consisting of an album and individual photographs from the family archive of geologist Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov (1884-1938). The collection depicts an expedition undertaken by Senior Lieutenant Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov (1877-1914) in the years 1912-14. Sedov, whose health was already failing when he set out for the pole by sled in early 1914, died before reaching his objective. The members of the expedition nonetheless carried out extensive surveying and scientific observations while wintering on Novaya Zemlya in 1912-13 and made significant contributions to knowledge of northern geography.

In this black and white portrait, Sedov stands proudly adorned with medals for his bravery and dedication to exploration.
