Alexander Mikhaylovich Sibiryakov ((ロシア語:Алекса́ндр Миха́йлович Сибиряко́в)) (, Irkutsk – 1933) was a Russian gold mine and factories owner and explorer of Siberia. Sibiryakov graduated from the Zurich polytechnic institute in Switzerland. Later in life, he financed the polar expeditions of Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld (see Vega Expedition) and A.V. Grigoriev. He also sponsored the publication of works on Siberia's history. In 1880, he made an attempt to enter the Yenisei estuary through the Kara Sea on a schooner. In 1884, Sibiryakov reached the Pechora estuary on the "Nordenskjöld" steamer and proceeded up the river. He then crossed the Urals using reindeers and reached Tobolsk by the Tobol River. Sibiryakov contributed significantly to Siberia's economic development. Sibiryakov Island, an island in the Kara Sea at the mouth of the Yenisei River, is named after him, as well as icebreakers ''A. Sibiryakov'' and ''Sibiryakov''. ==See also== * Otto Schmidt * Captain Vladimir Voronin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Sibiryakov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
