The Akademik Fedorov ( Russian Академик Фёдоров ) is a Russian research vessel of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute .

It was built in Rauma , Finland for the Soviet Union and completed on September 8, 1987. The ship was named after the Soviet polar explorer Yevgeny Fyodorov , an academic from the Academy of Sciences of the USSR who worked at the first Soviet ice drift station North Pole-1 . The ship had its maiden voyage on October 24, 1987 . In 2019 it was involved in the MOSAiC expedition .

The Akademik Fedorov made headlines when Russia claimed the North Pole area in August 2007 while the ship was near it. There the Akademik Fedorov and 100 researchers explored the Lomonosov Ridge using two research submarines in order to be able to assert any land or sovereign claims under the Convention on the Law of the Sea in the event that the underwater mountain range would have been a geological extension of Russian national territory .

Denmark claimed that the Lomonosov Ridge was a geological extension of Greenland , an autonomous part of Denmark, while Canada claimed that the Lomonosov Ridge was an extension of Ellesmere Island and therefore part of Canada.
