Résumé

Vladimir Ivanovich Lysenko (Russian: Владимир Лысенко; born 1 January 1955) is a Russian academic and world traveler. He set several Guinness World Records related to high-altitude river rafting. Lysenko was born in Kharkov, USSR on 1 January 1955 in the family of pilot Ivan Lysenko and engineer-designer Galina Lysenko (Korotkova). He had graduated from the Kharkov Aviation University (aircraft construction faculty) with honors and the postgraduate course of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (in the specialty "mechanics of fluid, gas and plasma"). Vladimir has three children: Victor (birthday 27.10.80), after graduating from Novosibirsk State University (Faculty of Economics) who moved from Novosibirsk to Krasnodar; Svetlana (28.10.83), after graduating from the Novosibirsk State University (Faculty of Economics) moved to Moscow, now lives in the Netherlands in Zuid-Scharwoude; and Slaviya (8.10.16). Lysenko holds a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in fluid mechanics. He is a leading fellow at the Institute of Mechanics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Novosibirsk. He authored the book Stability and Transition of High-Speed Boundary Layers and Wakes, as well as over 200 scientific papers. Between 1991 and 1992, Lysenko became the first man to raft on rivers flowing down all of the world's eight-thousanders—the 14 mountains with peaks higher than above sea level. In 1996, Lysenko became the first man to raft down the highest peak of every continent (except the Antarctic), as well as the highest peak of Oceania. While rafting down Mount Everest in Nepal in April and May 1991, Lysenko set the Guinness World Record for the greatest altitude difference travelled in a rafting trip: a descent of from Dughla on the Khumbu Glacier ( above sea level) to Chatara ( above sea level). In September 1996, he set the Guinness World Record for high-altitude rafting with a start on the Eastern Rong Chu River on Mount Everest; the previous record of had been set in September 1976 by the Mike-Jones team of England.
