Nikifor Alekseevich Begichev (Bigichev) ((ロシア語:Никифор Алексеевич Бегичев (Бигичев)) (February 7 (N.S. February 19), 1874 – May 18, 1927) was a Russian seaman and polar explorer. He was twice awarded gold medals by the Russian Academy of Sciences Begichev was born in Tsariov, Astrakhan Governorate to a family of Volga River fishers. In 1895 he was called up to the service in the Russian Navy, and traveled three times as a sailor and a boatswain to the The Antilles islands. He was a participant in Baron Eduard Toll's 1900–1903 "Russian Polar Expedition" as the bosun of ship ''Zarya''. After the death of Baron Toll, Begichev took part in the research. During this voyage, he saved the life of his commander - lieutenant Aleksandr Kolchak, a future admiral. Walking by the sea ice, Kolchak fell in the split. When Begichev pulled him from the water, the lieutenant showed no signs of live. Begichev took off his dry clothes, and dressed Kolchak. Then to re-animate him, Begichev fired his pipe and put it in Kolchak's mouth. Kolchak opened his eyes. Later Begichev took part in the Russo-Japanese War. In 1922, at the request of the government of Norway, Begichev led am unsuccessful Soviet expedition to search for Peter Tessem and Paul Knutsen, lost crew members of the ship ''Maud'' from Roald Amundsen's 1918 expedition.〔William Barr, ''The Last Journey of Peter Tessem and Paul Knutsen'', 1919〕 Begichev was one of the researchers exploring the Taymyr Peninsula with Nikolay Urvantsev in 1923–1924. During his explorations he surveyed two islands, which have been called after him: Bolshoy Begichev Island and Maliy Begichev Island. Nikifor Begichev died during wintering at the mouth of the Pyasina River. In 1964, a monument to Begichev was erected in the settlement of Dikson. ==Notes== 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「Nikifor Begichev」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
