Vitus Bering was born in 1681 in Denmark and initially trained as a sailor before joining the Russian Navy in the early 1700s. His early years were marked by a strong interest in exploration and navigation, which led him to participate in various naval expeditions. Bering's skills and leadership abilities quickly distinguished him, ultimately leading to his commissioning to explore the northeastern coast of Asia and the waters of the North Pacific. His early experiences laid the groundwork for his later significant contributions to exploration, particularly his famous voyages to the Aleutian Islands and the coast of Alaska.
Alaska has many bodies of water bordering it. To the north is the Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea. To the northwest is the Chukchi Sea. The Bering Strait and Bering Sea lie along the west and southwest of Alaska, as well as the north of the Aleutian Islands. The Pacific Ocean borders the southern coastline of Alaska.
The land bridge connecting Asia and North America is called Beringia. It was located in the present-day Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska. This land bridge emerged during the last Ice Age when sea levels dropped, allowing early humans to migrate to North America.
Vitus Bering died on December 8, 1741, during his expedition to chart the waters between Russia and North America. He succumbed to scurvy on Bering Island, which is named after him.
