About the history<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The participants of the 1st Kamchatka expedition, which took place between 1725 and 1730, led by navigator V. Bering, traveled on board the sailing ship along the coast of Kamchatka and Chukotka and entered the Arctic Ocean through the strait separating Asia and America, later called the Bering Sea. During the expedition they made extensive geographical observations, created extremely accurate cartography for the time, and through the observations learned about the life and habits of the native population. <\/p>\n
