Pavel Senko

Pavel Kononovich Senko (Russian: Павел Кононович Сенько) (October 4, 1916 – 2000) was a Soviet polar explorer, scientist, and member and leader of numerous expeditions to Arctic Ocean and Antarctica under the auspices of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute and Soviet Antarctic Expedition.

There is a valley at the bottom of Arctic Ocean named after him : Senko Valley from 87° 04’ N 97° 00’ W to 87° 45’ N 101° 10’ W . There is a mountain named after him in Antarctica: Senko Mountain at 71° 25,2’ S 12° 46,8’ E on the Zavaritsky Ridge.

He was leader of the winter party and officer-in-charge of Mirny Station on the 9th Soviet Antarctic Expedition and lead several expeditions subsequently. His name had shown up in the 1997 edition of "The Guinness Book of records" as one of the four "first people to have indisputably reached the North Pole at ground level exactly 90°00`00" (+-300m) on April, 23, 1948"

gollark: Mine too!
gollark: I don't know why it works, but it does.
gollark: Here is my actually good*, elegant** solution:```pythondef gollariosolver(n): #print(n, "is n") x = bisect.bisect_left(fibs, n) out = set() z = 0 for i in range(x, 0, -1): #print("gollario", i, z, fibs[i]) if (y := fibs[i] + z) <= n: z = y out.add(i) if z == n: return out```
gollark: I actually just ran out of time to do a cool solution, so I took the most working python thing I had, ported it to C in a way which was technically wrong but also worked due to a coincidence I found out about after reanalyzing it internally, and then quickly shoved together a thing to replace all the tokens with bits of the navy seal copypasta.
gollark: I don't understand what ridiculous nonsense you did but stop doing it, retroactively.
