Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov and Members of the Expedition with Those Seeing Them off on the..., 1912. Creator: Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin

Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov and Members of the Expedition with Those Seeing Them off on the Deck of the Ship Before Going to Sea, 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment as Senior Lieutenant Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov and members of his expedition bid farewell to those seeing them off on the deck of their ship before embarking on their daring journey to the Arctic in 1912. The image, taken by Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin, is part of a collection from the family archive of geologist Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov, shedding light on an expedition that would go down in history. Despite facing numerous challenges and harsh conditions, Sedov and his team carried out extensive surveying and scientific observations during their time on Novaya Zemlya in 1912-13. Their contributions to knowledge of northern geography were invaluable, even though Sedov tragically passed away before reaching his ultimate goal. The solemn expressions on the faces of those bidding farewell convey both pride and concern for the brave explorers setting out into the unknown. This historic photograph serves as a reminder of the courage and determination exhibited by these men as they embarked on a mission that would leave a lasting impact on our understanding of the Arctic region.
