Baron Eduard Vasilievich Toll(German: Eduard Gustav von Toll; March 2, Revel - after August 3, missing) - Russian geologist, Arctic explorer.
Biography
In 1872, the family (after the death of their father) moved to the city of Dorpat (modern Tartu). He entered the Imperial University of Dorpat at the Faculty of Natural History. He studied mineralogy, geognosy, botany, zoology and medicine.
The first expedition took place off the coast of North Africa. In Algeria and the Balearic Islands he studied fauna, flora, and geology. Returning to Dorpat, he defended his PhD thesis in zoology and was left at the university.
The works of E. Toll attracted the attention of the famous polar scientist A. A. Bunge. He invited E. Toll on an expedition to the New Siberian Islands. In March - April 1885, having traveled about 400 kilometers along the Yana River, he arrived in Verkhoyansk. Having collected a lot of valuable materials, he returned to the village. Cossack in the Ust-Yansky ulus and through the Laptev Strait moved to the New Siberian Islands.
In 1889-1896 - scientific curator of the Mineralogical Museum of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.
In 1893 he led a new expedition. On the shore of the East Siberian Sea in the area of Cape Svyatoy Nos, he excavated a mammoth; on the East Siberian Islands, fulfilling F. Nansen’s request, he set up food warehouses in case of wintering for Nansen’s “Fram”, which was preparing for a three-year voyage. In the north of Siberia, he described the Kharaulakhsky ridge, the Chekanovsky and Pronchishchev ridges, mapped the Anabar Bay, studied the Khatanga Bay and the lower reaches of the Anabar River. While taking route surveys, he corrected and clarified the geographical maps of that time. The main task of the expedition was to find the remains of mammoths on the Anabar River and carry out geological research there.
In 1899, under the leadership of S. O. Makarov, he participated in the voyage on the icebreaker Ermak to the shores of Spitsbergen.

8.6.1900 (21.6). – The Russian polar expedition departed from St. Petersburg under the leadership of Baron E.V. Tolya
Russian polar expedition 1900–1902 was equipped to explore the Arctic north of the New Siberian Islands and search for the legendary Sannikov Land. The expedition was led by Russian geologist and polar explorer Baron Eduard Vasilievich Toll (2.3.1858–1902). One of Toll's employees and closest assistants was a young research scientist, a lieutenant in the Imperial Navy.
The expedition was also important from the point of view of Russia’s economic and geopolitical interests in the Arctic (it has long been a dream to implement the Northern Sea Route from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It became a continuation.
Graduate of the University of Dorpat, naturalist E.V. Toll in 1884–1886 took part in the expedition of the polar scientist A.A. Bunge, who explored the coast of the Arctic Ocean from the mouth of the Lena to the Yana, as well as the New Siberian Islands. Toll then discovered deposits of brown coal on the island of New Siberia. In addition, one day in August 1886, in clear weather, from the northwestern cliffs of Kotelny Island, the researcher saw the contours of a previously unknown island in the northeast direction at a distance of about a hundred miles; a steep coast with columnar mountains was visible. This was previously reported by the Yakut industrialist and Arctic explorer Yakov Sannikov, after whom this legendary land began to be called, marking it on the map with an approximate dotted line.
Patronage played a huge role in equipping the expedition. In his youth he was a naval sailor and could assess many important issues of equipment personally and competently. It was thanks to him that Toll received twice as much money as originally planned: 509 thousand rubles in March 1904 instead of the planned 240 thousand. The schooner "Zarya" made its trip to the Arctic with the Highest permission of the President of the Imperial Academy of Sciences under his personal pennant and with his portrait in the wardroom. There are many known examples of his personal care for the members of the expedition.
Upon returning from the New Siberian Islands in 1893, where Baron Toll equipped evacuation bases for the Norwegian navigator F. Nansen, Toll made a detailed report at the Academy of Sciences on the need to organize an expedition to discover the archipelago lying to the north of our New Siberian Islands. Toll emphasized that the results of the expedition would be of great importance from the point of view of the country’s national interests, because the researcher wanted to begin the voyages of ships along the Northern Sea Route with visits to Siberian rivers for the transport development of the Siberian expanses. In addition, Toll believed that the open coal seams of the island of New Siberia were very important from a geostrategic point of view: ships traveling from Arkhangelsk to Vladivostok along the Northern Sea Route could replenish coal reserves in the middle of their journey, and warships would be able to reach the port of Vladivostok not around Africa, but along the shortest and almost internal Russian route. The admiral was also a supporter of this idea. The decision was made by the information that became known that the same goal (discovery of Sannikov Land for setting up a base there) was at that time pursued by American neighbors who needed to be ahead of them.
On a suitable vessel, in the summer of 1898 or 1899, it was planned to sail from the west, rounding, to the mouth of the Lena, where they would arrange their first wintering. The following summer it was planned to make a trip to the north on dog sleds, find Sannikov Land in August and land an expedition there with a two-year supply of food. On the way back, some of the travelers were supposed to build a food warehouse on Kotelny Island and return to the mainland; the group of Sannikovs who remained on Earth was given the task of building a house for the winter and conducting various scientific research throughout the year; another group had to build a wintering house delivered on the ship. In the spring and summer of the third year of the expedition it was planned to conduct research on Bennett Island and in the summer, on a ship that came again from the mouth of the Lena, bypassing the New Siberian Islands from the east, to return to the base at the mouth of the Lena. During the navigation of 1903, after exploring the New Siberian Islands, the expedition was supposed to move east, go around and, passing through the Bering Strait, end its journey in Vladivostok.
The ship on which he was to make his sea voyage was recommended by Toll Nansen as similar to the famous Fram. This steam-powered sailing barque "Harald Harfager" was previously used for seal fishing near Greenland. The ship was purchased by Russia from Norway, refitted for new tasks, and was renamed the schooner "Zarya". Equipment for hydrological research was ordered from England, Sweden and Russia. Thanks to the efforts of Lieutenant Kolchak, the Russian polar expedition was better equipped for work at depth than Nansen’s Norwegian polar expedition.
Kolchak, not previously familiar with this type of scientific work, took a special course and practice at the Geophysical and Pavlovsk Magnetic Observatories near St. Petersburg; made a business trip to Norway to consult with Nansen, had an internship with him for some time, after which, on behalf of Baron Toll, Alexander Vasilyevich traveled to Moscow and Arkhangelsk in order to complete the recruitment of the team, met with the governor of Arkhangelsk, visited Onega and other Pomeranian places. As a result, Kolchak managed to hire three people, one of whom (Semyon Evstifeev) Toll later recognized as his best sailor.

At the beginning of May 1900, Kolomeitsev and Kolchak brought the schooner from Bergen to St. Petersburg, picking up the head of the expedition, Baron Toll, along the way from Memel. On May 29, I visited the schooner preparing for departure. The ship's commander wrote: “His Majesty examined the Zarya in detail and at the end turned to the head of the expedition, Baron Toll, with a gracious question whether anything was needed for the expedition. And the need was urgent. We didn't have enough coal. As a result of the royal mercy, coal was released to us from the warehouses of the naval department, as well as many materials that could not be obtained for sale. The Maritime Department opened its stores for us, which we took advantage of.”.
Just before the start of the expedition, Toll received from Nansen a package with documentation and materials on the Siberian Arctic: coordinates of individual islands, Nansen’s hand-drawn sketch of Colin Archer’s bay, where the Scandinavian advised Toll to spend the winter, recommendations to find out the location of river valleys in the northeastern part of Taimyr, etc.
On June 8, 1900, "Zarya" set off, but first went to Kronstadt, where the expedition was met by the military governor of the city. The admiral and his wife visited the Zarya and carried out an expedition on it before entering the roadstead. In Kronstadt, the highest quality coal, chronometers and explosives, and books for the library were loaded on board.
The first small breakdown occurred in the waters of the Gulf of Finland, and they began to fix it in . Here Toll got off the ship and went to Norway, where he decided to once again consult with Nansen. Next, the expedition leader went to Bergen, where Zarya had already arrived. Here, hydrological and hydrochemical equipment delivered from Nansen was loaded on board, as well as 1,500 pounds of dried fish for dogs and another 50 tons of coal.
On July 10, the schooner passed the North Cape and found itself in open Arctic waters. On July 11, "Zarya" stopped at the roadstead of Aleksandrovsk-on-Murman to load previously purchased coal. Coal could not be superfluous - it meant the life of the ship and crew in the Arctic in unforeseen conditions. Also on board were 60 sled dogs with two mushers - Pyotr Strizhev and Stepan Rastorguev, who were taken on the expedition instead of two sailors. The ship received a draft of 18½ feet, which later made maneuverability somewhat difficult; during rough seas, the deck even flooded with water.
Unfortunately, the entire first half of the expedition took place in an atmosphere of conflict between the head of the expedition, Toll, and the commander of the Zarya, Kolomeytsev, who had different ideas about discipline on the ship.
On July 18, "Zarya" left Catherine Harbor and on July 25 approached Vaygach Island. At Cape Greben, a meeting was scheduled with a Pomeranian schooner specially purchased for the expedition, whose task was to deliver coal from Arkhangelsk to the Yugorsky Shar Strait to Varnek Bay. However, the schooner did not arrive, having been damaged when it encountered ice, and Toll decided not to wait for it and to go around Cape Chelyuskin as soon as possible, which, according to calculations, allowed the expedition to winter in eastern Taimyr - the least explored territory on the entire Northern Sea Route.
Having reached the place near Gafner Bay on April 18, where they had set up a food depot in the fall, Toll and Kolchak discovered that a compacted hard snowdrift 8 meters high was preventing them from excavating it. The plan to reach Cape Chelyuskin had to be abandoned. On the way back, food began to run out, the dogs were exhausted, no longer wanting to move without the help of people. Toll and Kolchak often harnessed the sledge themselves. They walked about 20 km a day, but by the beginning of May they could no longer walk more than 12 km a day. The dogs began to die of hunger. Kolchak, who became attached to the dog named Seal, suggested not to shoot it, but to take it to “Zarya” half-dead on a sled on which one was already lying. Once, travelers had to sit in a tent for a whole day because of a snowstorm. On the 41st day of the campaign, May 18, they, exhausted and hungry, still made it to the base.
As a result of this campaign, inaccuracies in Nansen’s map and the old geographical maps of the Great Northern Expedition, which described these shores in 1734-1742, were established. Toll valued Kolchak very much, and “for a thorough examination of geographical objects and sea waters in the Kara Sea region,” in gratitude for the hardships and risks endured together, he named after him one of the islands discovered by the expedition in the Taimyr Gulf.
In August 1901, Zarya was freed from ice captivity. On August 19, the schooner crossed the longitude of Cape Chelyuskin. In honor of this event, the stern flag and pennant with the St. Andrew's cross and the letter "K" under the royal crown, the personal pennant of the President of the Academy of Sciences, Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich, were raised. A group photo was taken on the shore with a large guria (cone-shaped pile of stones) built in the background. Kolchak and Seeberg conducted astronomical, magnetic, and hydrological research here. Having given a salute in honor of S.I. Chelyuskin, the researchers went further to the east. Zarya became the fourth ship after Nordenskiöld's Vega with its auxiliary ship Lena and Nansen's Fram to circumnavigate the northernmost point of Eurasia.
Having passed Cape Chelyuskin, the ship entered uncharted waters where no one had ever been: the expeditions of Nordenskiöld and Nansen moved much further south. The schooner headed northeast towards the supposed location of Sannikov Land. Toll promised a prize to the first person to see it.
At approximately latitude 77°20’ near Kotelny Island, the path was blocked by solid ice. Since visibility was zero and the search for Sannikov Land in such conditions was impossible, Toll ordered to move to the northernmost Bennett Island in the archipelago, where he wanted to spend the winter in order to go to the desired Earth next year.
On the night of August 29, a rare storm occurred, the ship lay on board, a wave covered the quarterdeck, and the dogs floundered in the icy salty water. No one would have seen Bennett Island if the fog had not suddenly cleared. “It is now absolutely clear that it was possible to pass by Sannikov Land 10 times without noticing it,” Toll wrote in his diary that evening. The ice did not allow the Zarya to approach the shore, and Toll decided to return to Kotelny Island, and on the way once again try to go far north from the New Siberian Islands. This time the polar explorers managed to reach a point with coordinates 77.32° N. w. 142.17° E. etc., but no signs of land were observed; further on there was impassable ice covered with fog.
On September 3, the schooner entered Nerpichya Bay off the western shore of Kotelny and two days later barely made its way to its anchorage. A house made of driftwood had already been built on the shore, and Toll was met by K.A.’s auxiliary party. Vollosovich, who reached there separately from the east. "Zarya" anchored to repair the machine and the pump, in which water began to boil from the salt accumulated on the walls.
This was where we had to finish the second navigation. The voyage in 1901 lasted 25 days, of which only 15 were running. The distance covered during this time was 1,350 miles, 65.7 tons of coal were consumed. There were still 75 tons of coal left, for 1,549 miles of voyage under favorable conditions.
Vollosovich's auxiliary party had the task of geological research and organization of food warehouses on the New Siberian Islands along the route of the main expedition to the south in the event of the loss of the ship. In March 1901, Vollosovich from Ust-Yansk left for the New Siberian Islands with a sleigh group of 11 people with 5 sledges drawn by 14 dogs each, and with 20 deer. The party included the exiled natural science student Tsionglinsky, the exiled technologist Brusnev, and musher-fishermen. In the spring and summer of 1901, heavy supplies were delivered to the islands for eight food warehouses. In addition, in November 1901, Vollosovich’s party left on Kotelny Island two well-fortified and protected from arctic foxes and polar bears barns with provisions and reindeer skins. After exploring the New Siberian Islands, Vollosovich and his party moved to Zarya for the winter as a member of the main expedition.
Covered in ice not far from the coast, Zarya was turned into a geophysical and meteorological station. Kolchak, as during his first winter on Taimyr, tried not to waste time: to explore the island, he left the ship at any opportunity. The expedition soon built a house for magnetic research, a meteorological station and a bathhouse around Vollosovich’s home, built from driftwood carried by Siberian rivers.
Toll began conducting scientific conversations with the crew, turning the Zarya into a “floating university.” Kolchak, Birulya, and Seeberg gave presentations on their specialties. In the evenings in the wardroom they argued on philosophical topics with the active participation of Kolchak. True, during this winter he suffered inflammation of the periosteum with a high fever.
Vollosovich began to experience neurasthenia, and Toll allowed him to leave, since during this winter the expedition was no longer in such isolation as during the first. On January 15, together with Vollosovich, Toll also went to the first dwelling on the coast in order to attract several local residents to the planned trip to the north of the archipelago. On March 30, the head of the expedition returned to base. By this time, a telegram from the President of the Academy of Sciences arrived with instructions for the expedition to limit itself to exploring the New Siberian Islands and to finish the voyage this year at the mouth of the Lena.
However, Toll was greatly disappointed that Sannikov Land was never discovered. Despite the successes achieved in describing the coast, the depth measurements that Kolchak made throughout the expedition, the results of the expedition began to seem too small to the leader. Therefore, Toll decided, at the beginning of the polar day, to send Mathisen in search of this mysterious Earth, and after his return, he himself would go on a sleigh and kayak expedition to Sannikov Land, if it was found, if not, then to Bennett Island to spend the third winter there. Toll thought that at least a thorough examination of this unexplored island would allow him to adequately report in St. Petersburg on the results of the expedition and write it into the history of science. Seeberg was planning to go with Toll. Toll planned to take Dr. Walter on the hike, but in December the doctor died of a cardiac disorder. (At the end of April, a new doctor arrived, political exile V.N. Katin-Yartsev, exiled for his participation with the RSDLP. In 1918, Admiral Kolchak would meet him in Harbin, where the revolutionary doctor would flee from the Bolshevik regime.)
At first, they planned to set off in February-March 1902. Mathisen was the first to be sent to search for Sannikov Land; he returned on April 17 and reported that, having walked 7 miles from the mouth of the Reshetnikov River, he ran into a hole in the ice and turned back. Mathiesen also visited the spit of Faddev Island, Figurina Island and Bunge Land.
On April 29, Birulya with three Yakuts went to the island of New Siberia. They were given the task of waiting there by the end of summer for the arrival of the Zarya, which was supposed to pick them up on the way to Bennett.
In early May, Kolchak and Strizhev went to Belkovsky Island, crossing a 30-kilometer strait. Kolchak traveled around the island, photographed it and put it on the map, and rock samples were also collected. South of Belkovskoye, Kolchak discovered a small rocky island and named it after his musher Strizhev. In the northern and western direction, Kolchak, like his predecessors, ran into wormwood.
On May 23, Baron Toll, astronomer Seeberg, Even Nikolai Protodyakonov (nicknamed Omuk) and Yakut Vasily Gorokhov (nicknamed Chichak) went north on three sledges, carrying with them a supply of food for a little more than 2 months. Initially, Toll was going to take the reliable Kolchak on his campaign, but the ship could not be left without an experienced officer.
It was supposed to explore Bennett Island, previously visited only by the De Long expedition in 1879, and carry out ice reconnaissance with the aim of further searching for an unknown land. After finishing the work, the polar explorers were to be picked up by Zarya. Toll traveled on dogs to the northern shores of the islands of Kotelny and Faddeevsky, after which he crossed to the island of New Siberia and on June 21 stopped there near Cape Vysokoy, from where a week later they went to Bennett Island. The travelers sailed on the ice floe for four days, after which they switched to a kayak and on July 21 landed on the shore of the island near Cape Emma. The journey took 2 months, and provisions were running out. Toll was now faced with the task of not only research, but also food and the return journey. Kolchak subsequently spoke about this: “Indeed, his enterprise was extremely risky, there were very few chances, but Baron Toll was a man who believed in his star and that everything would work out for him, and he went on this enterprise”...
Researcher Sinyukov believes that Toll simply had no other choice, since he “gave too many advances to the Academy of Sciences, the press, and colleagues, and could no longer return without the discovery of Sannikov’s Land.” The huge financial resources issued to Toll on credit forced the baron to take extreme desperate steps.
Before leaving, Toll left Mathisen with lengthy instructions, as well as a package with the inscription “Open if the expedition loses its ship and begins its journey back to the mainland without me, or in the event of my death.”, which contained a letter addressed to Mathisen, transferring to him all the rights of the head of the expedition and a list of actions that the commander had to take to save the people.
“The time limit when you can abandon further efforts to remove me from Bennett Island is determined by the moment when the entire fuel supply for the vehicle, up to 15 tons of coal, is used up on the Zarya.” After this, it was necessary to deliver the collected collections through Siberia to St. Petersburg and immediately begin organizing a new expedition. In this case, Toll hoped to independently reach the New Siberian Islands, and then to the mouth of the Lena.
On July 1, having escaped from the ice with the help of explosions, the Zarya entered the outer roadstead, but was immediately covered in ice, which began to drag the ship to the northeast. The schooner's coal reserves were depleted. Only on August 3 did this involuntary journey with ice end, and the freed schooner, having carried out the necessary ship work, set off on August 8 in the direction of Bennett Island. However, because of the ice, they were able to get no closer than 90 miles to the island. We tried to swim at least to New Siberia to film Biruli’s party. In the shallow strait, the ship was damaged and a leak appeared, but Zarya continued to break through the ice, all the time changing course between the islands in search of free passage. However, already on August 17, ice forced Mathisen to turn back.
By August 23, Zarya remained at the minimum coal quota that Toll spoke about in his instructions. And Mathisen, having lost hope of improving the condition of the ice, refused to remove the people remaining on New Siberia and Bennett Island, he decided to follow to Tiksi Bay. After all, even if Mathiesen could approach Bennett, there would be no coal left for the return journey.
Mathisen could not turn south without consulting Kolchak. As historian P.N. writes Zyryanov, Kolchak, most likely, also saw no other way out; subsequently he never criticized this decision of Mathisen and did not dissociate himself from it. Among the authors who wrote on the topic of Toll’s death, only the Soviet professor V.Yu. Wiese believed that “this decision cost the lives of Toll and his companions,” essentially blaming Mathisen for this. Other experts understood that with an insufficient supply of coal and provisions and the resulting damage to the hull, the crew of the Zarya would most likely have died. And Toll himself left Mathisen the order to go to Tiksi after reducing the coal reserves to the limits necessary for the return. None of his contemporaries who knew the circumstances of the case condemned Mathisen.
On August 25, the Zarya, crippled by ice, barely reached the mouth of the Lena and approached Tiksi Bay. The lack of coal did not even allow for a third wintering. On August 30, the Lena, the same auxiliary steamer that once rounded Cape Chelyuskin along with Nordenskiöld, entered Tiksi Bay. Fearing freezing, the captain of the ship gave the expedition only three days to prepare. Kolchak went on the Lena in search of a more convenient anchorage for the Zarya, and found it behind a small island, which he named after Brusnev. The Zarya was taken there, where all the most valuable collections and equipment were loaded onto the ship. Brusnev remained there in the village of Kazachye, waiting for Toll and Biruli.
On September 2, "Lena" moved away from the pier. "Zarya" with one person on board saluted the flag for the last time. However, the ship soon ran aground, and due to the limited amount of food, it was necessary to introduce a common ration for everyone. Kolchak was elected “food dictator”. At the same time, Mathisen and Kolchak developed a plan to assist the groups of Toll and Bylynitsky-Birulya: if these groups did not appear on their own on the mainland, in early February, Brusnev was supposed to go to the New Siberian Islands to meet them, to New Siberia, having previously prepared 6 good sled and bought more dogs. If Toll and Birulya returned to the mainland on their own, riding reindeer, prepared by Brusnev, should have been waiting for them at Chai Povarnya near the Holy Nose in the fall, on which the polar explorers could reach Cossack.
On September 30, 1902, the steamship Lena approached Yakutsk, and its passengers went ashore. From Yakutsk to Irkutsk we rode through the taiga on post horses. In early December, Kolchak reached St. Petersburg, where he immediately began preparing an expedition to rescue his comrades remaining in the Arctic.
On May 5, 1903, under the leadership of Kolchak, a 7-month rescue and search expedition began with a difficult 90-day sea sled and boat voyage at the limit of human capabilities and without losses. The total number of the expedition was 17 people, all of them were subsequently awarded (as were the participants of Toll's expedition). Kolchak managed to find the sites of Toll’s group and his notes, including the last (dated October 26, 1902) note in the form of a report addressed to the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences with a brief description of the island, a list of instruments and collections. The note ended with the words: “We are leaving for the south today. We have provisions for 14-20 days. Everyone is healthy. October 26, 1902."
The expected fate of Toll's group was as follows. On July 21 they reached Bennett Island. Considering the Zarya's scheduled arrival in mid-August, the leader apparently decided to concentrate all his efforts on exploring the island. Its geological structure was studied. Toll saw and wrote down that washed up bones of mammoths and other animals were found in the valleys of the island; he also described the modern fauna, which consisted of bears, walruses, deer (a herd of 30 heads), and flocks of geese flying by.
Toll's group built themselves a dwelling from driftwood, which could also serve as fuel. It was much worse with provisions. Kolchak wrote that “due to some misunderstanding, Baron Toll’s party did not take advantage of the convenient time for hunting and did not make any reserves,” apparently because they hoped for the arrival of the Zarya. To meet current food needs, deer were hunted. 3 bears were also killed, the meat of which would have been enough for several months, but it was abandoned on the ice.
When it became clear from the state of the ice that “Zarya” would not come, it was too late to shoot and harvest the birds, and besides, at the site of the camp, Kolchak’s expedition discovered no more than 30 shotgun cartridges. The deer left Bennett Island to the south in the fall, and people had to leave after them.
Kolchak’s expedition examined all the islands of the Novosibirsk group, but no traces of Toll’s group were found anywhere. Apparently, she died while crossing the ice from Bennett Island to New Siberia. The food supplies left for her in the southern direction remained untouched.
Biruli's party, without waiting for the arrival of "Dawn" at the end of summer, built a suitable dwelling for wintering on the western coast of the island of New Siberia, and in November 1902, when the ice finally stood up, they made a safe transition from the island to the mainland, arriving in Cossack at the beginning of December.
The scientific and practical results of the expedition turned out to be very important, since previous expeditions led by Nansen and Nordenskiöld did not conduct systematic surveys and depth measurements, and the maps of the coasts and islands they compiled were only approximate. The Russian expedition marked the beginning of a comprehensive study of the Arctic seas and coasts. Based on the results of the expedition's work, a geological map of the Taimyr Peninsula and islands was compiled. A brief physical-geographical and biological sketch of the northern coast of Siberia contains information about the climate, hydrography, geology, flora and fauna of Taimyr and the New Siberian Islands.
Scientific results also included research in the fields of meteorology, oceanography, terrestrial magnetism, glaciology, physical geography, botany, geology, paleontology, ethnography, and auroras. Using materials from the expedition, Lieutenant Kolchak carried out fundamental research on the ice of the Kara and East Siberian seas, which represented a new step in the development of polar oceanography. Kolchak identified the pattern of movement of Arctic ice for the entire polar basin. These discoveries were important throughout the subsequent development of the Arctic right up to the present day.
Under Soviet rule, the history of the expedition was distorted, the roles and merits of Toll and, first of all, the “White Guard” Kolchak, as an oceanographer and brave Arctic explorer, were hushed up. His scientific works, which received recognition from world science, were kept silent. Soviet scientists, of course, used his works, but usually without citing the author. In 1939, Kolchak Island was renamed, giving it the name of that same deserted sailor from the Zarya, Rastorguev.

Toll Eduard Vasilievich
Russian polar explorer. Member of A. A. Bunge's expedition to the New Siberian Islands in 1885-1886. The leader of the expedition to the northern regions of Yakutia, explored the area between the lower reaches of the Lena and Khatanga rivers (1893), led the expedition on the schooner "Zarya" (1900-1902). He went missing in 1902 in the area of Bennett Island.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian industrialist and traveler Yakov Sannikov saw a large land to the southwest of Kotelny Island - one of the New Siberian Islands. However, he himself did not reach it - Sannikov’s path was blocked by huge ice holes that remained open for almost the entire year. A native of Tallinn, geologist Eduard Vasilyevich Toll set himself the goal of finding this land...
Toll graduated from one of the oldest Russian universities - Yuryevsky (Tartu). He made his first trip to the Mediterranean Sea: he accompanied his former zoology teacher, Professor M. Brown, on a scientific expedition. During this trip, Toll studied the fauna of the Mediterranean Sea and became acquainted with the geological structure of some islands.
In 1885-1886, Toll was an assistant to Alexander Alexandrovich Bunge in an academic expedition organized by the Russian Academy of Sciences for "studies of the coast of the Arctic Sea in Eastern Siberia, mainly from the Lena along the Yana, Indigirka, Alazeya and Kolyma, etc., especially large islands lying not too far from this coast and called New Siberia". Eduard Vasilyevich conducted a wide variety of research - geological, meteorological, botanical, geographical.
In the spring of 1886, Toll, at the head of a separate detachment, explored the islands of Bolshoy Lyakhovsky, Bunge Land, Faddeevsky (the spit in the north-west of Faddeevsky Island Toll called the Anzhu Arrow) and the western coast of New Siberia. In the summer, Toll traveled around the entire Kotelny Island on a sledge for a month and a half, and in completely clear weather on August 13, he saw him and his companion in the north "the contours of four mountains that connected to the low land in the east". He decided that this was Sannikov Land.
Toll suggested that this land was composed of basalts, just like some other islands of the New Siberian archipelago, for example Bennett Island. It was, in his opinion, 150-200 kilometers to the north from the already explored islands.
Seven years later, Toll's second expedition took place. This time he was its leader. The main goal was to excavate a mammoth discovered on the coast of the East Siberian Sea. Eduard Vasilyevich himself believed that the expedition could bring more diverse and important results than just mammoth excavations, and he turned out to be right in achieving broader powers. Excavations of the remains of a mammoth turned out to be not so interesting: only small fragments of the skin of the fossil animal, covered with hair, parts of the legs and the lower jaw were discovered. Other results of the expedition, which lasted a year and two days, were much more important.
In the spring of 1893, Toll, continuing Chersky’s geological research in Northern Siberia, visited the Kotelny Islands and again saw Sannikov Land. Returning to the mainland, Toll, together with the military sailor-hydrographer Evgeniy Nikolaevich Shileiko, rode reindeer through the Kharaulakh ridge to the Lena in June and explored its delta. Having crossed the Chekanovsky Ridge, they walked west along the coast from Olenyok to Anabar, and traced and mapped the low (up to 315 meters) Pronchishchev Ridge (180 kilometers long), rising above the North Siberian Lowland. They also completed the first survey of the lower Anabar (more than 400 kilometers) and clarified the position of the Anabar Bay - on previous maps it was shown 100 kilometers east of its true position. Then the travelers split up - Shileiko headed west to Khatanga Bay, and Toll - to Lena to send collections. Returning to Anabar again, he walked to the village of Khatanga and between the Anabar and Khatanga rivers for the first time explored the northern ledge of the Central Siberian Plateau (Khara-Tas ridge), and in the area between the Anabar and Popigaya rivers - the short Syuryakh-Dzhangy ridge. The expedition collected extensive botanical, zoological, and ethnographic collections.
The Russian Geographical Society highly appreciated the results of Toll's journey, awarding him a large silver medal named after N. M. Przhevalsky. The Academy of Sciences awarded Eduard Vasilyevich a cash prize. The name of the researcher became known; he participates in the work of the International Geological Congress in Zurich, the Russian Geographical Society sends him to Norway to greet the famous traveler and navigator Fridtjof Nansen on behalf of the Society at the celebrations organized in his honor.
In Norway, Toll studied ice sheet glaciers characteristic of Scandinavia. Returning to Russia, the scientist left his service at the Academy of Sciences and moved to Yuryev, where he began to write a large scientific essay on the geology of the New Siberian Islands and a work on the most important tasks in the study of the polar countries.
During these same years, the scientist conducted various studies in the Baltic states. Later he sailed on the first Russian icebreaker Ermak. And all this time Toll dreamed of an expedition to Sannikov Land.
In 1900, Toll was appointed head of an academic expedition organized on his initiative to discover Sannikov Land on the whaling yacht Zarya. Enthusiastic researchers set off on their journey. On June 21, the small ship departed from Vasilyevsky Island.
Toll was sure that Sannikov Land really existed. This was indirectly confirmed by the research of the American captain De Long and the Norwegian Nansen.
In the summer, Zarya sailed to the Taimyr Peninsula. During wintering, the expedition members explored a very large area of the adjacent coast of the Taimyr Peninsula and the Nordenskiöld archipelago; at the same time, Fyodor Andreevich Matisen walked north through the Matisen Strait and discovered several Pakhtusop islands in the Nordenskiöld archipelago.
The captain of the Zarya, Nikolai Nikolaevich Kolomeytsev, left the ship due to disagreements with Toll and in April 1901, together with Stepan Rastorguev, walked about 800 kilometers to Golchikha (Yenisei Bay) in 40 days. On the way, he discovered the Kolomeytseva River flowing into the Taimyr Gulf, and his satellite in the Pyasinsky Gulf - Rastorguev Island. F. Mathisen became the new captain of Zarya.
In the fall of 1901, Toll sailed on the Zarya, rounding Cape Chelyuskin, from Taimyr to Bennett Island almost in clear water, and in vain he searched for Sannikov Land north of the Novosibirsk archipelago. For the second wintering, he remained off the western coast of Kotelny Island, in the Zarya Strait. It was impossible to approach Sannikov Land because of the ice.
On the evening of June 5, 1902, Toll, astronomer Friedrich Georgievich Seeberg and two Yakut industrialists Nikolai Dyakonov and Vasily Gorokhov went out on sleds with dog sleds dragging two canoes to Cape Vysokoy in New Siberia. From there, first on an ice floe drifting northward, and then on kayaks, they moved to Bennett Island to explore it. In the fall, Zarya was supposed to remove the detachment from there. Toll gave the captain the following instructions: “...If in the summer of this year the ice near the New Siberian Islands and between them and Bennett Island does not completely disappear and thus prevents the Zarya from sailing, then I suggest you leave the ship in this harbor and return with the entire crew of the ship by the winter route to the mainland, following the well-known route from Kotelny Island to the Lyakhov Islands. In this case, you will take with you only all the documents of the expedition and the most important instruments, leaving here the rest of the ship's inventory and all the collections. In this case, I will try to return to the New Siberian Islands before the frost sets in, and then. winter route to the mainland. In any case, I firmly believe in a happy and prosperous end to the expedition..."
Zarya was unable to approach Bennett Island at the scheduled time due to ice conditions. The captain did everything possible, but was forced to abandon further attempts. In addition, the deadline set by Toll himself had expired - the ship was supposed to approach the island before September 3.
In the fall, after unsuccessful attempts to get to Bennett Island, "Zarya" came to the then completely deserted Tiksi Bay, southeast of the Lena Delta. A few days later, the steamship Lena approached the island, onto which the extensive scientific material collected by Toll’s expedition over two years was loaded.
On the Zarya, the boatswain was naval sailor Nikifor Alekseevich Begichev, who had served in the navy since 1895. On August 15, 1903, he and several rescuers on a whaleboat from the yacht "Zarya" went out into the open sea and headed for Cape Emma on Bennett Island. As it was believed at that time, Toll and his companions were forced to spend the winter on Bennett Island, and saving them was not so difficult...
The transition turned out to be relatively easy and quick. The sea was open. There was no ice. A day later, on August 17, the whaleboat approached the southern coast of Bennett Island. Traces of Toll's expedition were found almost immediately: one of the expedition members used a hook to lift the lid of an aluminum pot lying on the coastal shallows. According to the agreement, Toll was to leave information about the expedition at Cape Emma. And the next day, after the first night on the island, several people went to this appointed place...
Before reaching the cape, members of the rescue expedition found two Toll sites. Traces of fires and chopped branches of driftwood that served as fuel were found on them. And on Cape Emma, documents were immediately found: in a pile of stones folded by a man’s hand, there was a bottle with three notes.
“On July 21, we sailed safely in kayaks. We will set off today along the eastern coast to the north. One party of us will try to be in this place by August 7. July 25, 1902, Bennett Island, Cape Emma. Toll.”
The second note was entitled "For those who seek us" and contained a detailed plan of Bennett Island. Finally, the third note, signed by Seeberg, contained the following text: “It turned out to be more convenient for us to build a house on the site indicated on this sheet. The documents are there. October 23, 1902.”
In the spring, on dogs pulling a whaleboat on a sled, Begichev crossed from the mouth of the Yana to Kotelny Island; in the summer, on a whaleboat he went to Bennett Island, where the search expedition found Toll’s abandoned winter quarters. Rescuers found on the shore two arctic fox traps and four boxes containing geological collections collected by Toll. There was a small house nearby; it was half filled with snow, which froze, turning into an ice block. On the rough plank floors were found an anemometer, a box with small geological samples, a tin of cartridges, a nautical almanac, blank notebooks, cans of gunpowder and canned food, a screwdriver, and several empty bottles. Finally, from under a pile of stones, a canvas-lined box was pulled out, containing Toll’s brief report addressed to the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences. From this document it was clear: Toll did not lose faith in the existence of Sannikov Land, but due to the fog he was unable to see it from Bennett Island.
When food supplies were already running out, Toll and his three companions decided to make their way to the south... In November 1902, they began their return journey across the young ice to New Siberia and went missing. What made travelers take such a risky step as crossing sea ice into the polar night with only 14-20 days of food? Obviously, Toll was confident that the yacht "Zarya" would definitely come to the island, and then, when it became clear that there was no more hope for this, it was too late to engage in fishing: the birds flew away, the deer escaped pursuit onto the ice...
On November 22, 1904, at a meeting of the Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it was determined, in particular, "that in 1902 the temperature dropped to -21° by September 9 and until the time E.V. Toll left Bennett Island (November 8) invariably fluctuated between -18° and -25°. At such low temperatures in the space between the island Bennett and the Novosibirsk archipelago are piled up with high, insurmountable hummocks. The ice-covered and treacherously snow-covered gaps between the hummocks in the darkness of the polar night become even more dangerous than when traveling in the daytime. Vast ice holes covered with a thin layer of ice crystals are completely invisible in the thick fog. When moving through the ice hole, the kayak is covered with a thick layer of ice, and the two-bladed oars, when frozen, turn into heavy ice blocks. In addition, the ice “fat” is compressed in front of the bow of the kayak and makes movement even more difficult, and the frozen kayak easily overturns. in ice only 40 m wide presented an insurmountable obstacle to the party’s passage.”
The commission came to the conclusion that “all party members should be considered dead.” And yet, despite this verdict, the commission appointed a bonus "for finding the whole party or part of it" and another award of smaller size, "for the first indication of undoubted traces of her". Alas, these prizes were never awarded to anyone...
According to a number of researchers, Sannikov Land still existed, but at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century it was destroyed by the sea and disappeared like the Pasilievsky and Semgiovsky islands, composed of fossil ice.

TOLL Eduard Vasilievich(1858-1902), Russian geologist and polar explorer.
Born in Reval (Tallinn). After graduating from the University of Tartu in 1882, he traveled as a naturalist around the Mediterranean, and in 1885-1886 he took part in the expedition of A. Bunge, organized by the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, to study the New Siberian Islands, as well as bass. Yana, Indigirka and Kolyma. From Kotelny Island, in clear weather in August 1886, E. Toll saw “ outlines of four mesas”, taken by him for Sannikov Land.
In 1893, continuing the geological research of I. Chersky in the north of Yakutia, E. Toll examined the bass. Lena and Khatanga, traced and photographed the Pronchishchev ridge. He again visited Kotelny Island and to the north of it he again saw “land” - most likely a drifting iceberg that had broken away from the continental glacier.
In 1899, E. Toll took part in the voyage of the icebreaker “Ermak” to the arch. Spitsbergen. In 1902, he led the Polar Expedition of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences to the region of the New Siberian Islands with the aim of searching for the legendary Sannikov Land, discovered in 1811 by the industrialist Yakov Sannikov. It included seven scientific personnel, incl. surveyor and meteorologist F. Mathisen, topographer A. Kolchak, zoologist A. Byalynitsky-Birulya, astronomer and magnetologist F. Zeeberg.
On the whaling bark Zarya, purchased in Norway, Toll intended to travel along the Northern Sea Route to the Pacific Ocean, but due to difficult ice conditions he was forced to winter twice near Kotelny Island.
In the summer of 1902, Toll with F. Seeberg, hunters Even Nikolai Protodyakonov (Dyakonov) and Yakut Vasil Gorokhov went on a sleigh to the Bennett and Kotelny islands to study their geological structure. They also intended to explore the region of Sannikov Land, which was inaccessible to the Zarya, which had been wounded by ice and two wintering quarters. The schooner was supposed to pick up the group at the end of the summer, but could not due to heavy ice conditions.
A rescue expedition led by A. Kolchak in 1903 discovered Toll’s camp, his collections and documents on Bennett Island. One of the notes said that everyone had gone south. Couldn't find them. Apparently, the unfortunates died while crossing the still fragile ice on the way to the mainland.
Toll, who had received a huge credit of trust from the state and society, could, as he believed, return to St. Petersburg only by discovering Sannikov Land or some other one. Or not to return at all. Valuable and extensive materials from the expedition were processed by a special commission of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1900-1919.
E. Toll’s essay “Navigation on the yacht “Zarya”,” published in 1909 by the scientist’s widow, was republished in 1959.
A bay in the Kara Sea, mountains on Novaya Zemlya and on Bennett Island, a bay on the Taimyr Peninsula and other geographical objects are named after Toll.

EDUARD VASILIEVICH TOLL
The name of this man is closely associated with the study of the famous Sannikov Land. Eduard Vasilyevich Toll, a geologist at the Geological Museum of the Academy of Sciences and a member of the Russian Geographical Society, devoted his entire life to the study of polar regions unknown in the 19th century.
He was born on March 14, 1858 in Reval into an impoverished noble family. In 1872, after the death of his father, his mother moved to the city of Yuryev (Tartu), where Toll entered the natural history department of the university. Here Toll studied mineralogy, medicine, zoology and biology.
Toll completed his internship on a scientific voyage across the Mediterranean Sea under the guidance of his former zoology teacher, Professor M. Brown. Together with him, Toll visited Algeria and the Balearic Islands. The research itself was carried out on the island of Menorca. After returning from the trip, Toll defended his Ph.D. thesis and was retained at Yuryev University as a laboratory assistant at the Zoological Institute.
One of the problems that interested Toll was the study of the fauna of Silurian deposits on the Baltic Sea coast. Toll's work on this issue attracted the attention of the famous explorer of Siberia, director of the Geological Museum of the Academy of Sciences, academician R.B. Schmidt.
He praised them, which in turn prompted Toll to undertake more serious scientific research.
Among other researchers, Schmidt submitted to the Academy of Sciences a project for organizing a two-year polar expedition to explore the coast of the Arctic Sea in Eastern Siberia, mainly from the Lena along the Yana, Indigirka, Alazeya and Kolyma, etc., especially large islands lying at a short distance from this coast and called New Siberia.
The scientists' project was accepted, and funds were allocated for the expedition. In the spring of 1884, Toll received an offer from the Academy of Sciences to take part in this expedition under the leadership of A.A. Bunge. To prepare for the expedition, in August he was appointed to the position of scientific curator of the Geological Museum.
In December 1884, Toll left St. Petersburg for Irkutsk, and from there, together with Bunge, to Yakutsk. Their further journey passed through the Tukuhansky Pass of the Verkhoyansk Range. On April 30, Bunge and Toll arrived at the starting point of the journey - Verkhoyansk.
Toll was given the task of exploring the geological structure of the banks of the upper reaches of the Yana River, Triassic deposits and the slopes of the Verkhoyansk Range.
In 38 days of difficult travel, Toll covered more than 1,500 km. Along the entire route, he collected a large collection of geological materials and Triassic fauna.
The consistent development of sediments of the Triassic Sea in the future, established by Toll, served as the basis for broader paleographic concepts of Academician V.O. Obruchev.
On June 30, 1885, Toll joined Bunge and together with him went down by boat to the village of Kazachye, where the expedition spent its first winter.
The further route of the expedition led to the New Siberian Islands. On April 21, 1886, Bunge's expedition arrived in Agertaise. Having carried out the preparatory work, Toll set off on two sledges from Adgertaizakh to Chai-Povarna, where for many years there was a resting place for travelers going from the mainland to Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island and back.
Along the ice of the Dmitry Laptev Strait, Toll and his companions arrived in Maloye Zimovye on Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island. Here Toll made his first big discovery.
Having become acquainted with the ice outcrops, he realized that the ice cover of Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island is the oldest powerful glaciation. “I cannot explain the origin of such powerful ice masses otherwise than by the idea of the snow cover that was there, like the modern continental ice of Greenland, although on a much smaller scale.”
From Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island, Toll went to Kotelny Island, and from there to Fadtseevsky Island, which was a kind of sandy area, which even on old maps was designated as “sand”. Toll called this area "Bunge's land" in honor of its first explorer.
In mid-May, he crossed the Annunciation Strait on a sled to the island of New Siberia to get acquainted with the section of the Wooden Mountains and the profile of Cape Vysoky. With the end of research on this island, the study of New Siberia ended. His further path lay to the legendary Sannikov Land.
He believed that if all assumptions about the existence of land north of the New Siberian Islands come true, then this could turn out to be a significant archipelago. And if you conduct research on this archipelago, it will be useful not only for understanding the geology of northern Asia, but also for understanding the history of the Earth.
After Toll saw the contours of Sannikov Land from Kotelny Island, it forever became his guiding star in all research works.
In mid-August, Toll returned to his base in Urassali. A month and a half was spent exploring the shores along which Toll traveled by boat or sledge.
In November, he crossed the Sannikov Strait to Maly Lyakhovsky Island, and from there to the mainland.
At the end of January 1887, Toll arrived in St. Petersburg. Soon after the return of all participants in the trip, a report from the leaders of the expedition took place at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences. And here Toll could not bypass the question of Sannikov Land. “Are we really going to give up the last of the fields of action for opening our north again to other peoples? - he said. - After all, one of the lands Sannikov saw has already been discovered by the Americans... We, Russians, taking advantage of the experience of our ancestors, are already better than all other nations by geographical position in being able to organize expeditions to discover the archipelago lying to the north of our New Siberian Islands, and carry them out in such a way that the results were both happy and fruitful.”
After the end of the expedition, Toll was appointed supernumerary curator of the Mineralogical Museum of the Academy of Sciences and began processing the materials collected during the expedition.
To compare paleontological data, Toll was sent abroad in November 1887 for a period of 9 months.
Upon returning from a business trip, Toll was appointed full-time curator of the Mineralogical Museum, and a year later he was enlisted as a geologist of the Geological Committee with instructions to carry out a geological survey of the St. Petersburg province and Courland.
In 1889, his first part, “Scientific results of the expedition of 1885–1886,” was published. However, at the end of February 1890, he fell ill with a severe nervous disorder and left for treatment at a resort in Vienna.
By this time, he met the famous Norwegian polar explorer F. Nansen, who at that time was considering a plan to drift through the North Pole. Toll advised Nansen to move north of the New Siberian Islands, taking advantage of the Lena Current.
After Toll returned from Vienna, the Academy of Sciences again invited him to lead the expedition to Eastern Siberia. Toll agreed to this.
The main goal of the expedition was to find the remains of a mammoth in the tundra east of the mouth of the Yana River and deliver it to the Academy of Sciences. However, upon the expedition’s arrival at the site, it turned out that almost nothing had survived from the mammoth. And Toll decided to take a new trip to the New Siberian Islands. At the same time, he fulfilled Nansen’s request and purchased a batch of Eastern European dogs for his expedition. Subsequently, the famous polar explorer spoke with great warmth about the help Toll provided him. It should be noted that, in providing assistance to Nansen, Toll went beyond the narrow boundaries of his official instructions and thereby gave his campaign to the New Siberian Islands an international character.
In July, Toll made a huge journey of 1200 km on reindeer and a light shuttle made from a whole trunk (“branch”) - from the Holy Nose to the Lena. He overcame the most swampy places and became convinced that it was possible to pass through the tundra at any time of the year.
At the beginning of August 1893, the expedition began to descend down the Lena and through the delta of this great Siberian river passed along the Olenek channel to the mouth of the Olenek.
At the end of the month, the expedition's caravan, consisting of fifty pack and riding reindeer, set off to the west. The reindeer covered 70–80 km of travel per day, and without even changing them, Toll rode 700 km on horseback from the Buolkalakh River to the Dorokha tract.
In October, Toll returned to Buolkalah again.
On November 26, the expedition reached the village of Dudinki on the Yenisei, on December 4 - Turukhansk, and on December 16 - Yeniseisk. On January 8, 1894, its participants arrived in St. Petersburg.
During the second Arctic expedition, which lasted a whole year, its participants covered the distance from the headwaters of the Yana River to the northern shore of Kotelny Island and the distance between the New Siberian Islands and Khatanga Bay.
Toll was the first to describe the plateau between the Anabar and Popichay rivers, and also made a description of the Pronchishchev Ridge, which stretches along the coast of the Laptev Sea, between the mouth of Olenek and Anabar Bay. Toll himself proposed to give a name to this ridge, and he also proposed to name another ridge located between the lower reaches of the Lena and Olenek after A.L. Chekanovsky, who first described it in 1875.
During the expedition, rich zoological, botanical and ethnographic collections were collected. Materials on paleontology for the first time made it possible to study in detail the history of the Anabar and Khatanga region.
For exemplary performance of tasks, the Russian Geographical Society awarded Toll a large silver medal named after N.M. Przhevalsky, and the Academy of Sciences - a large cash prize. For his services in helping Nansen's expedition, Toll was awarded the Norwegian Order.
Subsequently, the Russian Geographical Society sent Toll to Norway to greet the Norwegian traveler on behalf of Russia. In response, Nansen once again thanked Toll for his assistance in his expedition and proposed a toast to the valiant Russian people, who had made a huge contribution to the exploration of the Arctic.
Soon after the end of his second Arctic expedition, Toll left his service at the Academy of Sciences and moved to Yuryev. Here he began processing expedition materials and at the same time began writing an essay on the geology of the New Siberian Islands.
After Toll returned from the second Arctic expedition, he met S.O. Makarov. Makarov himself believed that the ice of the Arctic Ocean was a completely surmountable obstacle if the expedition had at its disposal an icebreaker capable of breaking through the ice to the Pole.
And when the icebreaker Ermak was built, Makarov secured Toll’s secondment to participate in the expedition as a geologist. Toll was entrusted with the responsibility of purchasing instruments for geographical and hydrobiological research in Sweden and Norway. He coped with this task brilliantly.
On May 20, 1899, "Ermak" left Kronstadt and headed northeast to the shores of Norway. The icebreaker anchored in Lokvik Bay near Troms, where the Ermak was already waiting for Toll.
On June 16, the icebreaker headed to the edge of the ice north of Spitsbergen. At the same time, hydrobiological work was in full swing on the icebreaker. Toll, together with the ship's doctor, sorted out the organisms brought by the trawl and placed them in formaldehyde and alcohol. When approaching ice jams, Toll began to study ornithology, hunted seagulls and collected stone material from the ice for his collection.
The expedition was in full swing when Toll unexpectedly received a telegram from St. Petersburg, informing him that the Academy of Sciences was calling him to organize an independent expedition to Sannikov Land.
Toll received a telegram from the Academy of Sciences in Newcastle, where, on Makarov’s orders, he went to purchase the necessary materials to strengthen the icebreaker. He notified Makarov about this and asked to be relieved of his position as expedition geologist. Makarov gave his consent, and Toll left for St. Petersburg.
Toll's expedition was necessary primarily for strategic reasons: it was necessary to transfer a squadron of the Baltic Fleet to the Far East to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The shortest route lay along the northern coast of Asia. In addition, American industrial and trading companies have already tried to use the natural resources of the Anadyr region. The Americans were already developing plans for an expedition along the coast of Siberia to the mouth of the Indigirka River, where they were attracted by fishing for sea animals, mammoth ivory and valuable Russian mineral resources. Canadian industrialists also began to develop plans for an expedition to Sannikov Land. Through the Siberian sector of the Arctic, German scientific expeditions, backed by large German trade and financial circles, also rushed to the North Pole.
Toll's prediction, which he once expressed at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences, was coming true - if the Russians do not develop these lands, others will come there.
All this forced the Russian government to allocate significant funds for the expedition (about 150 thousand rubles in gold).
Toll himself thought for a long time about the plan of the expedition and realized that he would have to spend not one, but two winterings in the high latitudes of the Arctic. The first wintering was to be spent off the eastern coast of the Taimyr Peninsula, north of the Khatanga Bay, and the second - on the islands located north of the Novosibirsk archipelago. The choice of place for the first wintering was explained by the fact that the eastern part of the Taimyr Peninsula was completely unexplored, and research should have provided the necessary information.
The spring waters of the Khatanga, Anabara, Olenek and Lena rivers contributed to an earlier ice-free sea between the eastern coast of the Taimyr Peninsula and the New Siberian Islands. Toll did not rule out the possibility of staying in the Arctic for the third year if the second wintering expanded the research area and increased the productivity of the expedition. After wintering north of the New Siberian Islands, Toll hoped to reach Vladivostok through the Bering Strait and the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, where he intended to complete the expedition.
Toll's plan was adopted by the commission of the Academy of Sciences and approved by its president. In July 1899, Toll was sent to Norway in order to find a suitable vessel for the upcoming expedition. On Nansen’s recommendation, Toll’s choice was the whaling barque Harald Harfather. At the suggestion of the President of the Academy of Sciences, after the purchase, the bark was renamed the yacht “Zarya”.
On March 24, 1900, Toll gave a lecture at the Kronstadt Naval Assembly about his past and planned expeditions, and spoke about the tasks assigned to its participants.
After the end of the lecture, Makarov ascended to the department, who called Toll the successor of the great Russian sailors of the past, who were guided by the motto: “Strength is not in strength - strength is in love,” since only selfless love for science gives the researcher the strength to endure all the difficulties and hardships along the way. “Going in search of the unknown Land of Sannikov,” Makarov concluded his speech, “let the brave researcher E.V. Toll knows that the sailors fully sympathize with him, deeply appreciate his work and sincerely wish him complete success and well-being in the upcoming expedition.”
At the end of May 1900, Zarya arrived from Bergen to St. Petersburg. Relying on the broad support of the Russian scientific community, Toll energetically prepared the expedition. He received a lot of valuable advice from Norway from Nansen.
The expedition included not only sailors, but also scientists: zoologist A.A. Belynitsky-Birulya, physicist F.G. Seeberg, appointed astronomer and magnetologist on the expedition, Doctor of Medicine G.E. Walter, appointed bacteriologist and second zoologist.
On June 21, 1900, Zarya left St. Petersburg and by the beginning of August was already in the Kara Sea. In the area of the Minin Skerries and the Mikhailov Peninsula, the ship landed on underwater rocks three times, but thanks to the energy of the crew, it was safely removed from the reefs. Toll led his ship to the Taimyr Peninsula and approached it on September 20.
Here the Zarya found itself surrounded on all sides by floating ice and was forced to stay for its first winter. Thus, Toll’s hopes that the expedition in 1900 would have time to circumnavigate the Taimyr Peninsula were not realized.
During the winter, special instruments were installed for meteorological and hydrological observations, studying the aurora, and the development and movement of sea ice on a small granite island located one mile from the Zari site and called Observation Island.
At the same time, it was decided to organize several expeditions along the seashores and deep into the Taimyr Peninsula. Due to the fact that Toll himself needed to remain on the Zarya, these expeditions were led by his assistant, fleet lieutenant N.N. Kolomiytsev.
One of Toll’s main tasks during his first winter was the zoning of the Taimyr Peninsula. The lands of the tundra and Cape Taimyr began to bear the names of people who once explored the peninsula: Minin, Midzendorf, Khariton Laptev, Pronchishchev, Chelyuskin. Most of these names have forever entered geographical science.
Despite the fact that at first Toll had no intention of leaving Zarya, he still could not resist exploring this land himself.
On October 23, 1900, he set out for Gafnerfjord, where he arrived four days later. A kind of depot was set up here for storing food for four people for one month. The depot was made in case of further trips into the interior of the territory.
In April-May 1901, a new excursion to the Gafnerfjord was organized in order to study the mouth of the Taimyr River, which Lieutenant Kolo-tsev, sent here, could not find due to the discrepancy between the available maps and its actual location. However, this time it was not possible to find the mouth of the Taimyr.
Toll continued further searches in July, and only then were they crowned with success - the mouth of the Taimyr was found.
The day after Toll returned from the expedition, a strong force six wind set in motion the entire mass of ice surrounding the Zarya, and it, along with the ice, began to move after an 11-month winter.
On September 1, Toll, along with other members of the expedition, landed near Cape Chelyuskin to explore the extreme northern tip of Asia. From Cape Chelyuskin the expedition set off in search of Sannikov Land. At the same time, Toll did not abandon the thought of a place for a secondary wintering, since the frequent ice made the Zarya’s navigation more and more difficult.
The question increasingly arose before him: should he leave or wait for the right moment to land on shore? Finally, Toll decided to go to Sannikov Land, and if wintering there turned out to be inconvenient, to go down south to Nerpicha Bay, to Kotelny Island. However, a day later the situation changed and “Zarya” found itself surrounded on all sides by ice. Open water remained only in the southwest, and Toll made the final decision to go to Kotelny Island.
On Kotelny Island, Toll began to prepare for expeditions to Sannikov Land and Bennett Island. He was especially concerned about the fact that the coal reserves were quickly being used up, and this could negatively affect the entire course of the expedition.
When preparing an expedition to Sannikov Land, a group led by naval lieutenant F.A. was first sent to Bennett Island. Mathisen. If they found Sannikov Land, Toll intended to personally go to Bennett Island.
Mathisen visited the northern shores of the Kotelny and Faddeevsky islands and reported to Toll that no traces of Sannikov Land were found on the horizon. This forced Toll to personally take charge of the further expedition to the uncharted land and for this he himself went to Bennett Island.
On the evening of June 5, 1902, Toll, along with the astronomer Seebert and two mushers, left the Zarya and set off, paving the way through heavily destroyed ice, into the unknown.
In his last instructions to Lieutenant Mathisen, Toll ordered “the remainder of the coal of 15 tons to be used to divert the Zarya to Tiksi Bay to the mouth of the Lena.” However, months passed, and the Zarya crew did not receive any news from Toll.
The situation was complicated by the fact that the ship itself was again surrounded by ice and could not approach Bennett Island, and none of Mathisen’s efforts brought results.
Finally, Mathisen decided to open the package that Toll had given him before leaving for the expedition. In it, Toll entrusted him with all further leadership of the personnel and scientists in the event that he himself could not be removed from Bennett Island. On September 12, “Zarya” arrived at Tiksi Bay, where it made its eternal mooring. Three days later, the steamship Lena arrived, onto which all the material collected over the two years of the expedition was loaded.
The expedition members who returned to St. Petersburg spoke at a meeting of a special commission about the sad fate of Toll and his companions. Alarmed members of the Academy of Sciences began to study possible ways to save the expedition.
Makarov also offered his rescue services, convincing the Academy members that he was able to cross the Arctic ice on the icebreaker Ermak. However, the commission stated that the icebreaker was not suitable for such a task.
Many members of the expedition, led by Mathisen, proposed returning to the Zarya anchorage and using a simple whaleboat to get to Bennett Island.
On April 28, 1903, members of the rescue expedition arrived in Tiksi Bay and, after waiting for the ice to move away from the shores, on August 15 they set out to the open sea.
On August 17, the expedition landed at Cape Preobrazheniya and immediately discovered traces of Toll’s expedition. There were also bottles in which Toll and Seeberg’s notes about what they saw on the island were kept. However, they did not say anything about the disasters that befell the expedition members.
Using these notes, the members of the rescue expedition reached Toll's main base. Here, among a pile of ice and stones, a box was discovered containing Toll’s original report on the progress of the expedition. The only thing from which one could draw a conclusion about their further route was an indication that Toll and his companions were planning to go south. This report was dated 26.X - 8.XI.
The rescue expedition members were shocked by this information. What could have prompted Toll to do this? Apparently hunger. The birds flew away, the deer went onto the ice, and the bears could not be seen. All that remained was either to die of hunger and scurvy during the winter, or to decide on a 150-kilometer journey across the ice in the polar night at thirty degrees below zero to the New Siberian Islands.
On August 25, the members of the rescue expedition left Bennett Island, taking with them everything that remained from Toll's expedition.
Those who knew Toll could not believe that such an experienced and energetic researcher could not find a way out of the situation. It was assumed that he could have landed on the mainland east of the Yana River or on the eastern shore of the Taimyr Peninsula. Even Nansen believed that Toll and his companions were carried by drifting ice to Franz Josef Land. However, these versions were not shared by the commission of the Academy of Sciences. But having learned about the equipment of Toll’s party and the conditions in which it was on Bennett Island, Nansen himself abandoned his assumption.
On November 24, 1904, a commission of the Academy of Sciences, at a meeting in which some of the expedition members took part, after studying all the circumstances of the incident, decided “that all party members should be considered dead.”
A bay on the northwestern coast of the Taimyr Peninsula is named after Toll, and the Tollievaya River is located on the same peninsula. On Kotelny Island, the strait and the middle plateau bear his name. The central dome of Bennett Island is called Toll's Mountain.
