Seeing off the Expedition in Arkhangelsk, 1912. Creator: Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin
Seeing off the Expedition in Arkhangelsk, 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 the poignant moment of Seeing off the Expedition in Arkhangelsk, 1912. The image is part of a collection from the family archive of geologist Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov, depicting an expedition led by Senior Lieutenant Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov in the early 20th century. Despite facing health challenges, Sedov and his team embarked on a journey to explore the Arctic region but tragically, he never reached his ultimate goal.
In this photograph, we see a group of people gathered at the docks for a ceremonial farewell. The men are dressed in traditional attire while a priest blesses them before their departure. The solemn expressions on their faces hint at the dangers that lie ahead on their exploration mission.
The historical significance of this image lies in the contributions made by Sedov's team to our understanding of northern geography during their time spent on Novaya Zemlya. Their scientific observations and surveying work have left a lasting impact on our knowledge of this remote region.
Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin's skillful capture of this emotional moment allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the bravery and dedication of these explorers. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring spirit of adventure and quest for discovery.
