Three round -the -world travels: Mikhail Lazarev

The famous Russian traveler and navy Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev (1788-1851) committed three round-the-world voyages during his life. During these floating, the sixth mainland of the Earth – Antarctica, hundreds of islands, bays and other objects were opened and applied to the map. The documents presented in this book, the testimonies of Lazarev himself and his contemporaries, expedition participants, not only record events and discoveries – they, like hundreds of illustrations (many of which were made directly during swimming), give the reader the opportunity to plunge into the atmosphere of the past, during the great geographical discoveries.
