Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition

The 32 man expedition was headed by Boris A. Vilkitsky and was staffed with military seamen and hydrographers, such as Konstantin Neupokoev.

The Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition moved along the northern waters of Siberia from East to West.

This expedition completed the cartography and description of the Northern coast of Eastern Siberia and its many islands.

It also gathered a large quantity of data on currents, ice conditions, climate, and magnetic phenomena.

On 3 September 1913 (22 August 1913 in the Julian calendar used by Russia at the time), members of the expedition landed on what is now known as Cape Berg on present day October Revolution Island.
