Siberian Hydrographic Expedition

The Siberian Hydrographic Expedition was a scientific mission conducted in the 18th century, initiated by the Russian government. Its main purpose was to systematically explore and map the rivers and waterways of Siberia. The expedition collected crucial information about the region's geography, hydrology, and natural resources.
