Seeing off the Expedition on the Pier, 1912. Creator: Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin
Seeing off the Expedition on the Pier, 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 on the Pier in 1912, as depicted by Nikolay Vasilyevich Pinegin. The image is part of a collection from geologist Mikhail Alekseevich Pavlov's family archive, showcasing an expedition led by Senior Lieutenant Georgii Iakovlevich Sedov in the early 20th century.
The solemn farewell scene on the dock evokes a sense of anticipation and adventure, as members of the expedition prepare to embark on their journey into uncharted territories. Despite facing challenges and hardships along the way, these brave explorers made significant contributions to northern geography through their surveying and scientific observations during their time on Novaya Zemlya.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. The group gathered on the pier exudes determination and camaraderie, united in their quest for knowledge and understanding of the Arctic region.
Through Pinegin's lens, we witness not only a historical moment but also a testament to human resilience and curiosity. This image serves as a reminder of the courage it takes to venture into unknown lands, pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of the world around us.
