A group of Russian specialists have travelled to the Arctic Circle
to find the grave of Russia's first North Pole explorer. Georgy
Sedov, a celebrated Russian hero, died during a Polar expedition
in 1914. This latest team of specialists, called The Adventure
Club, has found evidence showing that Sedov may actually have been
buried on Gogonloa Island. The group, led by geographer Aleksander Shumilov, used metal detectors to search for a small cross, which archives suggest may have been buried with the body. The team found an area which matched drawings made by Sedov's companions of the burial site, but a thick layer of snow and ice prevented them from locating the actual grave.
