 Yermak Timofeyevich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On October 26, Yermak captured the capital of the Siberian Khanate, Qashliq (17 km from the city of Tobolsk).
Yermak was wounded and tried to swim across the Wagay River (Irtysh's tributary), but drowned under the weight of his own chainmail.
Yermak's family name is unknown or probably he never had one; 'Timofeyevich' is patronymic (see Russian name).

 Beaufort Gyre Exploration Project | History | 20th Century Icebreakers
Naval Commander Makarov is credited with the construction of the Yermak, the first true icebreaker, which reached 81°21'N north of Spitsbergen on her maiden voyage in 1899, and 83°06'N nearly 40 years later.
This icebreaker operated for many years in the Arctic and was a crucial component in the development of the Northern Sea Route (Northeast Passage).
In 1921, the Floating Marine Institute in the USSR was founded for multi-disciplinary study of the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas, rivers, islands and coastal areas.

Renamed "Krasin" during the Soviet era the powerful icebreaker took part in the rescue operation to save the Italian polar expedition led by Umberto Nobile.
After the war the historic icebreaker took an active part in research expeditions in the Polar Ocean and led Soviet cargo convoys through the polar region.
Rather than being destroyed (like the famous icebreaker "Yermak") to make way for more modern ships, the "Krasin" was preserved and restored, thanks to the tremendous dedication of its captain and crew and of volunteers and naval history enthusiasts.

Russia, however, can probably claim the first use of an icebreaker when the Pilot was used to maintain shipping lanes between St Petersburg and the nearby naval base at Kronstadt where she was built in 1864.
The Yermak gained hero status when she freed an icebound Russian battleship and, while on the same mission, rescued fifty stranded Finnish fisherman from an ice floe.
She brought the icebreaker to world-wide attention again when, in 1928, she rescued General Umberto Nobile and his crew who had crashed at 82o above Spitsbergen on their failed attempt to reach the North Pole by airship.

 ROAD ALONG THE FACADE
Little by little, the sun that never sets, and the spring wind start gnawing at the snowdrifts, sharpening sheets of ice into thin, snowy daggers in the open spaces, especially on the vast white surface of the frozen northern rivers, like the Yenisei, where the author lived for almost a quarter of a century.
On its snow-white surface, merging with the riverbanks and the sky above, there was a flened channel of clean water as straight as an arrow, which had been made by the icebreaker and was slightly steaming in the frost while two large ships and a beautiful icebreaker slowly moved along it.
The six diesel-electric icebreakers have been working for at least twenty years, and they all need to be either repaired or replaced with the new and more modern ones.

He was one of the very few literary men (H.G. Wells, whom he greatly admired, was another) to have a grounding in science and technology and consequently able to appreciate their fascination, as well as their vast potential for altering the course of human development.
The word ‘icebreaker’ is gratuitously used as a metaphor at one point.
When the test flight of the spaceship is in preparation, Zamyatin suddenly and for no reason introduces a river and cranes; the whole atmosphere is of a ship launch on the Tyne.(36) Also quite gratuitously, D-503 is asked his age by the Benefactor (no one else’s age is mentioned in the book).

The high northern latitude oceans directly influence the global environment through the formation of permanent and seasonal ice cover, the transfer of sensible and latent heat to the atmosphere, deep- water formation, and deep-ocean ventilation, which control or influence both oceanic and atmospheric chemistry.
On the Yermak Plateau in the Arctic Ocean, drilling provided evidence for massive ice caps on the Arctic Ocean margin during certain glaciations.
The plateau is a locus of sedimentation in the Pliocene and Quaternary, possibly reflecting melting of a sediment-laden pack ice transported to the plateau by Arctic surface circulation.

The successful pioneer voyages of the "Yermak" made it possible for icebreakers to sail through the Northeast Passage.
Starting from 1910, the Hydrographic Expedition of the Arctic Ocean worked in the Arctic in the icebreakers "Taimyr" and "Vaigach." During the navigation season of 1914-1915, the members of the expedition journeyed from Vladivostok to Arkhangelsk in their first ever traverse of the Northeast Passage.
One of their remarkable achievements was the discovery of the archipelago Severnaya Zemlya, the most significant geographic discovery made in the Arctic in the 20th century.

The project could be an ancillary component of a larger, international effort, or could be the primary project and support ancillary PIs.
