Fyodor Minin
Template:Short description Fyodor Alekseyevich Minin (Template:Langx) (ca. 1709 - after 1742) was a Russian Arctic explorer.
In 1730s, Minin participated in the Second Kamchatka expedition. On January 7, 1736, he joined the unit led by Dmitry Ovtsyn.[1] In 1738, he was in charge of a group of explorers, that would chart the Arctic Ocean coastline east of the Yenisei river.[2] In 1738–1740, Minin made an attempt to go around the Taimyr Peninsula from the north and reached 75°15'N. Together with Dmitry Sterlegov, he mapped this part of the Arctic Ocean coastline.
A cape at the Mammoth Peninsula, a peninsula, the Minina Skerries in the Kara Sea, a gulf, and a mountain on the shores of the Taimyr Peninsula bear Minin's name.[3]
