Innokenti Gerasimov is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Innokenti Gerasimov as Soviet soil scientist and geographer (1905-1985).
Innokenti Gerasimov was born at Kostroma in 1905. His recorded nationality is Russian Empire.
The heroic age of polar exploration pushed men and dogs to the limits of endurance for objectives that were as symbolic as they were geographic.
He is recorded as geographer, soil scientist and university teacher.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: USSR State Prize, Order of Lenin, Order of the Red Star and Medal "For Valiant Labour in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945".
Innokenti Gerasimov died in 1985, aged 80. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
