This book recounts the exploits of 18th-century Russian explorers who discovered and first described Russia's coastlines in the Far North and Far East. The reader will learn how this epic voyage of discovery began with Captain Vitus Bering, a Dane in Russian service, who, at the behest of Peter the Great, set out to find the strait separating Russia from the American mainland. The expedition lasted ten long years. As a result, the shores of Yamal, Taimyr, and Kamchatka were explored, the Kuril Islands were discovered, and the lands of Juan de Gama, Campania, and Ezzo were "closed." You will learn about the dramatic voyage of two Russian ships, led by Captain-Commander V. Bering and Lieutenant-Commander A. Chirikov, to the shores of America. This book will be of interest and useful to all lovers of the history of geographical discoveries. It is intended for a wide range of readers.
