Even from the lower reaches of the Lena, an industrialist, one of the discoverers and explorers of the Lyakhovsky Islands. 
Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island was discovered by M. Vagin, was called Middle. Documentary evidence of travel Eterikana not found. Oral stories tell us that in 1759 or 1760, Etherian discovered the richest deposits of fossil remains of mammoths in the Middle. In the 1760s, this island was named Eterikana. He first visited the island behind him, which they began to call Small. Later, by decree of Catherine II, the islands were named Big and Small Lyakhovskys in honor of the industrialist I. Lyakhov. 
According to legend, the two brothers of Eterikans (a name common among the Evens) and their eldest wife, Makrusha, flew to  Bolshoy Lyakhovsky Island, hunting and getting mammoth bone. Having quarreled because of Makrushi, in a duel they killed each other, the remaining Makrusha died of starvation. In memory of them, the three rivers of the island are called Makrusha, Great Ethan and Minor Ethan. It is believed that this grim legend left an imprint on the life of subsequent industrialists: the custom has closed the islands for women.
