Soviet Arctic explorer, scientist, and admiral. He achieved outstanding results in Arctic expeditions and scientific research in 1931, 1932-1933, 1934-1935, and 1937-1938. In particular, in the 1937 expedition, he was the first to successfully land an airplane on an ice field 20 kilometers from the North Pole, which he named the First Arctic Drifting Station (NP-1). Together with three staff members, including Fedorov, he conducted scientific observations on the drift ice until February 1938, when he reached the east coast of Greenland. For this achievement, he was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union twice, in 1938 and 1940, and was also awarded the Order of Lenin. Long-term scientific observations on drifting ice islands in the Arctic Ocean were actively conducted by the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s after World War II. He held important positions such as Director General of the Northern Sea Route, and his main work is Life on Ice Islands (1938).
