In 2020, two significant maritime anniversaries were celebrated in Estonia. First, the discovery of Antarctica by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen (1778-1852) on 28 January 1820 and second, the 250th<\/sup> birthday of the great explorer Adam Johann von Krusenstern (1770-1846), born on 19 November 1770. Both explorers were of Baltic German origin born in Estonia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nthe first half of the 19th<\/sup> century saw other great Baltic German\nexplorations, notably in the Arctic region. Otto von Kotzebue\u2019s (1787-1846)\nexpedition to find the Northwest passage in 1815-1818, Ferdinand von Wrangell\u2019s\n(1797-1870) expedition in 1820-1824 to the coast of Northeast Siberia to find a\npossible connection between Asia and North America, as well as Friedrich\nBenjamin von L\u00fctke\u2019s (1797-1882) Novaya Zemlya expedition in 1821-1824 to chart\nRussia\u2019s coast in the Barents Sea all played a significant role in the\ngeographical sciences and cartography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently,\nEstonia is applying for observer status at the pre-eminent forum dedicated to\ninternational cooperation in the Arctic \u2013 the Arctic Council. Estonia as a\nclose neighbour of the Arctic is keen to participate in guaranteeing the\nsustainable development of the Arctic \u2013 a common commitment to a region rapidly\ntransformed by climate change.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nthese reasons, the Estonian Embassy in Stockholm and the Estonian Maritime\nMuseum will hold a hybrid seminar on the topic of the Arctic. We intend to look at\nhistorical events and current developments in the Arctic region, e.g. climate\nchange, and security together by asking how past developments have\ninfluenced the present. The seminar emphasises a specific chapter of the close\ncultural and scientific cooperation of the two countries \u2013 celebrating a\ncentury of diplomatic relations between Estonia and Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr\nMarko Mihkelson, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Estonian\nParliament, will deliver a keynote speech at the opening of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfirst panel <\/strong>will look at the historical perspective of discoveries\nand research in the Arctic region. It is common knowledge that Krusenstern was\na leading figure in Russia\u2019s great maritime ventures and that his work strongly\ninfluenced Baltic German naval officers in Russian service, who explored\ndifferent parts of the world. However, what is the link between the\nexplorations of Krusenstern and Otto von Kotzebue or Ferdinand von Wrangell?\nThe work and achievements of men associated with contemporary Estonian\nterritory highlights Estonia\u2019s historical ties to the Arctic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Urmas Dresen, the Director of the Estonian Maritime Museum<\/em>,<\/em> will\ntalk about Estonian seamen on the Arctic Ocean\nand Siberian rivers in the second half of the 19th<\/sup> century. Mr\nDresen will be followed by Dr Feliks Gornischeff, researcher at the\nEstonian Maritime Museum, who intends to look at Krusenstern\u2019s interests in the\nArctic, and Kotzebue\u2019s and Wrangell\u2019s explorations in the Arctic. Leaning on\nfamily archives in the Kalmar Museum, Mr Otto von Krusenstierna, the Chairman\nof the Swedish Family von Krusenstierna Association, will speak about the\nwell-known Krusenstiernas in Sweden and about the Von Krusenstierna Family\nArchives in the Kalmar Museum, especially its collection of Adam Johann\u2019s\ndocuments, letters and objects. The panel will be concluded by a presentation\nby the Director of the Swedish Army Museum, Dr Stefan Lundblad. He will talk\nabout Swedish maritime and polar expeditions in the 19th<\/sup> century. Thus,\nthe historical aspects of both Baltic German (Russian) and Swedish maritime\nexploration will be acknowledged and compared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second panel<\/strong> fast-forwards into\nthe present day. Dr Katarina G\u00e5rdfeldt, Director-General of the Swedish Polar\nResearch Secretariat, will talk about the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat\nand the current situation of polar studies in Sweden. Ms Maris Pruuli,\nBoatswain of S\/Y<\/em> Admiral Bellingshausen<\/em>\non the Antarctica 200 expedition, will talk about the current expedition to the\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arctic areas. Reti Ranniku, a\ndoctoral student at the University of Tartu, will speak about the role of the\nArctic in climate change research, adding a modern hands-on-aspect to the\nseminar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr<\/strong> Hele Kiimann<\/strong> will discuss Toward Just, Ethical and Sustainable Arctic Economies, Environments and Societies by introducing her research on Arctic field research stations in Greenland, Sweden and at the Nunavut Research Institute in Iqaluit, Canada. Last but not least, Ms Katrin Savom\u00e4gi, CEO of the Estonian Polar Club, will talk about Estonian polar researchers in the past, present and future and polar activities at the Estonian Maritime Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
