Nikolai Korzhenevskiy is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Nikolai Korzhenevskiy as Russian geographer (1879–1958).
Nikolai Korzhenevskiy was born at Vitebsk in 1879. 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, geographer and military personnel.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Order of the Red Banner of Labour.
Nikolai Korzhenevskiy died in 1958, aged 79. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
