Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2010, Vol 439, Issue 439
Abstract
Systematical studies of Siberia and the Far East regions were started in the beginning of XIX century. Poles participated significantly in those studies. There were deportees after overthrowing of the following insurrections and also voyagers, explorers and industrialists – all of whom were attracted to that region by nature and cupidity. There were a lot of geologists among those people. Their interests ranged from ethnography, zoology to botany. They also carried on meteorological and topographical measurements. In the present paper, there are outlines of such well-known explorers as: Aleksander Czekanowski, Jan Czerski, Karol Bohdanowicz or Józef Morozewicz and, less famous, Antoni Giedroyc, Leonard Barszczewski, Bronislaw Gr¹bczewski, Leon Jaczewski, Kazimierz Grochowski, Stanislaw Doktorowicz-Hrebnicki portrayed. All of them were brilliant researchers, they distinguished themselves in exploration territories east of Ural. After recovery of independence, part of them contributed significant share in developing of geological sciences in Poland.
