Englishman James Cook believed that he was the first to discover the strait between Asia and America. Until he saw the map of Vitus Bering! He was born in Denmark, studied in Amsterdam. And all his life he served Russia, having received the rank of captain-commander. Peter I assigned him the task: to find the strait between America and Asia The journey took two and a half years. But a detailed map of the road to Siberia was compiled. The first marine scientific expedition in the history of Russia was also crowned with success: Bering compiled an accurate map of the North Pacific. And he confirmed that the strait between America and Asia exists. And a new settlement was founded - the future Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Bering later reached Alaska, but on the way back his ship crashed on the rocks. And Bering died in the winter camp. On the advice of James Cook the strait, the sea and a number of islands were named in honor of Bering.
