Summary

  • Ekspeditsiya polkovnika V.M.Vonlyarlyarskogo na Chukotskiy poluostrov v 1900 godu (The Expedition of Colonel V. M. Vonliarliarsky to the Chukotka Peninsula in 1900) is part of a collection of albums in the Prints Division of the National Library of Russia documenting expeditions to Siberia and the Russian Far East undertaken mostly in the late 19th century. The album, consisting of 69 photographs on 26 sheets, shows scenes from the extreme northeastern part of the Russian Empire, including Provideniia Bay, Seniavine (also seen as Senyavina) Strait, Cape Litke, and Cape Dezhnev. Several photographs depict the expedition's ship, the Samoa, and members of the expedition. At some point the expedition must have crossed the strait to visit Alaska, at that time a U.S. territory, as several photographs depict the town of Nome. World Digital Library.
