Russian navigators have made a huge contribution to the development of geographical science and expanded humanity's understanding of our land. In the second quarter of the XVIII century, during the First and Second Kamchatka expeditions, which immortalized the names of Vitus Bering and Alexei Chirikov, the entire northern coast of Russia was studied, the navigators reached America and passed through the strait, proving that Asia and America are two continents divided by water. The first Russian circumnavigation of the globe was led by Ivan Krusenstern and Yuri Lisyansky in 1803-1806. The expedition not only demonstrated the capabilities of the Russian fleet, but also made a number of important geographical discoveries. And on January 16, 1820, two more brave sailors - Thaddeus Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev during the expedition on sloops "Vostok" and "Mirny" discovered a new continent - Antarctica.
