In July 1931, Professor V. Yu. Vize led an expedition on the "Malygin" to Franz Josef Land and the northern part of the Kara Sea. Captain D.T. Chertkhov was in command of the "Malygin". Other members included technicians whose mission was to locate a suitable place for a Soviet floatplane base in Franz Josef Land. During this expedition German airship "Graf Zeppelin" made a memorable rendezvous with icebreaker "Malygin" at Bukhta Tikhaya in Hooker Island, Franz Josef Land.
