Fyodor Fyodorovich Luzhin (Template:Langx; died 1727) was a Russian geodesist and cartographer. During the reign of Peter the Great, he was sent to explore and map the Kuril Islands.[1]
Life

In 1719–1721, Luzhin took part in drawing a map of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands together with Ivan Yevreinov.[2][3] In 1723–1724, he made surveys of different parts of East Siberia. In 1725–1727, Luzhin participated in the First Kamchatka Expedition led by Vitus Bering.[4]
Honors
Luzhin Bay in Magadan Oblast, and Luzhin Strait which separates Antsiferov Island from the Paramushir coast are both named after him.[5]
