Ermanno Stradelli č il pių importante esploratore italiano dell'Amazzonia. Nato nel 1852 a Borgotaro (Parma) in una famiglia nobile da cui eredita il titolo di conte, studia nel collegio Santa Caterina di Pisa, si iscrive alla facoltā di giurisprudenza di quell'ateneo e compone versi, ma ben presto si dedica per conto proprio a studi di etnologia, topografia, farmacologia e omeopatia, botanica e zoologia, fotografia, portoghese e spagnolo, tutto quanto cioč gli č necessario per realizzare il suo sogno di diventare esploratore e geografo. Nel 1879, a sue spese, si reca in Brasile, arrivando a Manaus, base delle sue spedizioni in vari punti dell'Amazzonia. Visita la regione del Vaupés una prima volta nel 1881 e di nuovo nel 1882, quando risale il Vaupés fino a Yavaraté e il Papurí fino a Piracuara. Rientra in Italia nel 1884 per terminare rapidamente gli studi universitari di diritto ed esercita per qualche tempo a Genova.

Knight Leontiy Vassilievich Spafaryev (1765 - 30 January 1847) was a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Russian Navy. Spafaryev was Director of the Lighthouse Administration and cartographer of the Russian Admiralty.
Spafariev was an important contributor to the improvement of navigation along the Russian coasts. The first lighthouses in Russia were built during tsar Peter the Great's drive for reform and modernization at the beginning of the 18th century. However, it was only until the Administration of Lighthouses was created in 1807 that the Russian lighthouse system followed an organized pattern, becoming effective and efficient. This office was established by the Russian Navy and it began under the leadership of Leontiy V. Spafaryev.
As a cartographer, perhaps his most outstanding work is the 'Atlas of the Gulf of Finland', published in 1817. His name is spelt as 'Spafarief' or 'Spafarieff' in the United States.
The Spafaryev Islands in the Sea of Okhotsk and Spafarief Bay in the coast of Alaska were named after Leontiy V. Spafaryev.
