Eduard von Toll

Eduard Gustav Freiherr von Toll (Russian: Эдуард Васильевич Толль, romanized: Eduard Vasilyevich Toll; 14 March [O.S. 2 March] 1858 – disappeared 26 October 1902), also known as Baron von Toll, was a Russian geologist and Arctic explorer of Baltic German descent. He led the Russian polar expedition of 1900–1902 in search of the legendary Sannikov Land, a phantom island purported to lie off Russia's Arctic coast. During the expedition, Toll and a small party of explorers disappeared from Bennett Island, and their fate remains unknown to this day.
