Members of an Expedition at Base Camp, 1920-1929. Creator: Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov
Members of an Expedition at Base Camp, 1920-1929. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the members of an expedition at their base camp in the 1920s. The image is part of a collection from the family archive of geologist Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov, offering a glimpse into the remarkable journey undertaken by Senior Lieutenant Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov in 1912-14.
Despite facing adversity and tragedy along the way, including Sedov's untimely death before reaching his goal, the expedition members persevered and made significant contributions to our understanding of northern geography. Their dedication to surveying and scientific observations during their winter on Novaya Zemlya is truly commendable.
In this photograph, we see men and women standing proudly at their base camp, surrounded by snow-covered landscapes and tents. The sun shines brightly overhead, casting a warm glow on the scene. Each individual exudes determination and resilience as they work together towards a common goal.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Pavlov's lens, we are reminded of the bravery and spirit of exploration that drives humanity forward. This image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of those who push boundaries in pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
