Summary

  • This item is from a collection of materials, including manuscripts, photographs, and a photograph album, from the N.N. Urantsev Foundation devoted to the last major geographical discovery on earth: the exploration of Severnaya Zemlya in the expedition of 1930-32 expedition under the leadership of G.A. Ushakov (1901-63) and N.N. Urvantsev (1893-1985). The manuscripts and photographs offer new and previously unknown information about the harsh conditions and limited plant and animal life of Severnaya Zemlya and document the history of the expedition. As characterized by N.N. Urvantsev, this was the last polar expedition of the Nansen-Amundsen era, in which success was achieved through human endurance and perseverance in pursuing a goal using a minimum of technical and material resources. Severnaya Zemlya (meaning "northern land" in Russian) is an archipelago of four large and many smaller islands located in the Arctic Ocean, immediately north of Cape Chelyuskin, the most northerly point in Siberia. Much of the territory is covered by ice and snow. The archipelago was first discovered only in 1913 and was not explored until the two-year Ushakov-Urvantsev expedition mapped and surveyed the territory. The collection is preserved in the Museum of History of the Noril'sk Industrial Region in Noril'sk, Russia. It was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s.

  • -  Снимок сделан во время экспедиции, организованной с целью исследования и геодезической съемки островов архипелага Северная Земля. Снимок сопровожден авторским текстом: "После тяжелых и опасных поездок было приятно засесть за обработку дорожных дневников". В доме под радиорубку была выделена небольшая комната площадью в 4 кв. м. Через две недели после ухода "Седова" радиопередатчик был готов к работе. Но связь была односторонней. Полярники могли слышать Ленинград, Москву, Хабаровск ... Австралию, Японию, Европу ... Но их посланий никто не слышал. Лишь поздней ночью 23 сентября 1930 г. была установлена устойчивая двусторонняя связь. Фотография использована в качестве иллюстрации в книге: Н.Н. Урванцев "На северной Земле", Гидрометеорологическое издательство, Ленинград, 1969г, стр. 60.
