Old map of Nenetskiy Autonomous Okrug, Russian Federation, Yamalo.

1943), a prominent zoologist and ornithologist who taught vertebrate zoology at Moscow State University. Zhitkov conducted numerous expeditions to the Arctic and adjoining regions, stretching as far east as the Commander Islands in the Bering Sea. He published a book about the Yamal Peninsula following his trip and was an early advocate for wildlife conservation. Prior to the arrival of the Russians, the Nenets and Khanty (Ostyak) people had occupied the Yamal Peninsula for millennia and traditional nomadic reindeer husbandry was long the backbone of the native economy and way of life. Russian--and later Soviet--expeditions came to map this Arctic region and to survey its extensive natural resources. The map highlights the main route of the 1908 expedition under the leadership of Zhitkov (solid green line), a supplemental route under the command of Vadim Nikolaevich Vvedenskii (dashed red line), and the expedition's supply route (solid red line, with stopping points). Other references are to rivers, lakes and other bodies of water, settlements, and the extent of the ice pack. Relief is indicated by shading and hachures. The peninsula is shown bordered by the Kara Sea, Gulf of Ob, and Baydaratskaya Bay. The map was compiled and corrected by K. Meshcherskii and drawn by B. Messer. It was printed by the Main Hydrographic Administration of the Russian government. Various measurements of latitude and longitude on the Yamal Peninsula, confirmed by astronomical observations, are listed in the map legend. World Digital Library.
