  Gerasim Izmailov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerasim Grigor'evich Izmailov (Герасим Григорьевич Измайлов) (circa 1745 - after 1795) was a Russian sea explorer who did much to map the Russian Far East and the Aleutian Islands and Russian America (Alaska).
After being abandoned for more than a year in Robinson Crusoe fashion on uninhabited Simushir, one of the Kuril Islands, Izmailov managed to return to the mainland where he was detained by the authorities in Irkutsk until he was cleared in 1774.
In October 1778 he encountered Captain James Cook at Unalaska and presented him with a letter of introduction to the Russian authorities; this letter was used by Cook's successor Captain Charles Clerke after Cook died.
