One is that Yermak planned the subjection of Kuchum and the conquest of Sibir, and induced the Stróganoffs to aid him; the other is that the Stróganoffs planned the conquest and got Yermak to assist them in the undertaking.
Yermak was ambitious, hence he grew dissatisfied and restless, and, seeing a chance to win wealth on the Volga by robbery, he deserted his employers, formed a company of young, daring boatmen, put himself at the head of it, and began business.
Seventy-five years after Yermak crossed the Urals into the almost unknown land of Yugra, Russia had swept across Asia; her boundaries touched the frozen ocean in the north, and China in the south; and in 1697 Kamchatka was added to her domains.

On board the Yermak this had apparently not been thought of, for she turned short to the new course and went ahead, without giving time to the Roland to take up her appointed station.
To stop the Yermak's movements when she had once gathered headway could not be done easily or quickly.
When the Yermak reported by signal what had happened, the Admiral made back: "The passage is to be considered as having been swept," and continued on his course.

We had agreed to play one move a day: Yermak could not spare more time, as he had discovered what he claimed was a 'super-penguin' on the south shore of the island, and was teaching it to play Backgammon.
Yermak had a fatherly arm around Dalek's hunched shoulders and was addressing him at length, watched with evident incredulity by the super-penguin, which from time to time tapped Yermak on the shoulder with an impatient flip­per.
Yermak was preoccupied with the super-penguin, and missed the obvious line of attack; Swindelman moved his A(StP) to Finland and pulled his redundant A(Pru) back to Livonia.

 Yermak the Cossack in Siberia 1580
Although his force was eventually defeated and Yermak was himself drowned wearing the mail shirt gifted to him by the Tsar, the Western part of this conquest stuck, and in the following century Muscovy was to claim, with the Cossacks again on point, all this land which remains today part of the Russian federation.
A contemporary chronicle was made, but the original was lost in the 17th C. Also, a Stroganov version of the story was prepared in the 17th C. Between 1696 and 1700, the Remezov chronicle was prepared, fully illustrated, which was laid out like a modern panel comics strip.
Because Yermak and the cossacks are committing piracy on the Caspian and highway robbery everywhere else, Tsar Ivan sends a punitive expedition.

 Ocean-to-ice heat flux at the North Pole environmental observatory
Data from drifting buoys deployed in April, 2002, as part of the North Pole Environmental Observatory project have been analysed to estimate ocean heat flux in the time period from 1 May 2002 to 11 Mar 2003.
While over deep water, heat flux was dominated by storage and release of solar energy in the ocean boundary layer during summer.
Over Yermak Plateau, heat flux at the interface came from mixing of warmer water into the boundary layer from below.

Oceanographers have discovered in the Arctic seafloor long grooves carved by ancient, giant icebergs far larger than any seen today.
Vogt and his coworkers discovered the plow marks along the flanks of a submerged feature called the Yermak Plateau.
Because the top of the plateau shows few gouges, the oceanographers propose that it was beveled smooth by a thick ice shelf during the most recent ice age.
