Georgy Sedov is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Georgy Sedov as Russian Arctic explorer (1877–1914).
Georgy Sedov was born at Siedove in 1877. His recorded nationality is Russian Empire.
Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.
He is recorded as explorer, hydrographer and polar explorer.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Order of Saint Stanislaus, 3rd class and Order of Saint Anna, 3rd class.
Georgy Sedov died in 1914, aged 37. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
