Vitus Bering: The Discoverer of Bering Strait reveals the daring Danish‑Russian navigator who bridged two continents and opened northern seas to exploration.
This edition presents the full scope of his Arctic journeys, from early expeditions to the season of discoveries in the Pacific.
The book frames the challenges, choices, and crew behind Bering’s campaigns. It also situates his work within a broader history of Arctic exploration, showing how maps, archives, and rival opinions shaped what is known today.- Explore the Arctic crossings, the Northeast Passage, and the path to Japan and the Kurile Islands from the north.
- See how later editors and translators shaped our understanding, with attention to authorities and conflicting accounts.
- Learn how Bering’s voyages ended, how his reports were preserved, and how his reputation evolved.
- Understand the interplay of exploration, politics, and geography that defined this era.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
