Nikita Shalaurov ((ロシア語:Никита Шалауров)) (? - 1764) was a merchant from Veliky Ustyug, Russia and an Arctic explorer.〔(Biography ) 〕 Nikita Shalurov took part in the Arctic expedition of Afanasy Bakhov (1748-1749) as Bakhov's assistant. Then he took part in another polar expedition of Bakhov (1757-1760) as the leader's chief assistant. Later he organized his own expedition to discover new islands and the full passage to the Pacific Ocean (Northeast Passage).〔〔 (American Society of Polar Philatelists: Arctic Postal History 1675-1799 )〕 The expedition was the only Russian expedition in the few decades after the Great Northern Expedition by Vitus Bering. It was carried out by Nikita Shalaurov, a trader without government support.〔(Contexts - Geography - Northern Passage )〕 Nikita Shalaurov's ship was named "Vera, Nadezhda i Lubov'" translating into Russian as Faith, Hope and Love. Shalaurov sailed from the Lena River,〔(Beaufort Gyre Exploration Project )〕 tried to sail east from the Kolyma River to the Bering Strait in 1762 but was foiled by ice; trying again in 1764, he and his party disappeared. The Chukchi later told of finding the expedition's wintering site littered with skeletons.〔(Britttanica article )〕 Apparently Nikita Shalaurov together with his ship and the whole crew died in 1764.〔 An island in East Siberian Sea is named Mys Shalaurova translating as Cliff of Shalaurov after Nikita Sharaulov. A recent expedition in 2005 was formed to explore the island, named R0K.() The website features images and documentation of the 2005 expedition. A weather station is located on the island, and the weather conditions can be monitored through Wunderground.com.() ==References== 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「Nikita Shalaurov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
