Obtaining exclu- sive right of exploiting the land he had explored, Liachof visited the islands by boat in 1773, wintered on Liachof, and discovered a third (Kotelnoi) island, on which were tusks of the mammoth. The discovery of mammoth bones in 1750 by Lerchon on the Siberian tundra initiated a profitable industry which now extended to these islands.
The scientific and material importance of these deposits led the Russian government to send Chvoinof to survey these islands, and obtain informat...ion regarding their re- markable natural conditions. His reports showed that save a few granitic hills the soil of Liachof was a mixture TIic Islands of the Siberian Oeean 187 of ice, sand, and ivory, the last being remains of the mam- moth, fossil ox.

Driftwood was abundant, ivory plentiful, foxes and other valuable fur- bearing animals very numerous.
