Voin Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (; 1822–1871) was a Russian navigator, hydrographer and geographer. He was an elder brother of composer and conductor Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Rimsky-Korsakov was born in 1822 into a family of Russian nobility and graduated from the School for Mathematical and Navigational Sciences in Saint Petersburg. He served as a navy officer and commander of the schooner ''Vostok'' in the flotilla under the administration of Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin. In the 1850s and 1860s Rimsky-Korsakov researched the area of the Sea of Japan near Ussuri Krai. Later a small archipelago was named after him. Rimsky-Korsakov died at the age of 49 in 1871 in Pisa and was buried in Saint Petersburg.〔(Russian) (biografija.ru: Римский-Корсаков Воин Андреевич )〕 ==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「Voin Rimsky-Korsakov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
