Vitus Bering

   Vitus Bering traveled to east coast of Siberia and to find out if Asia and North America were joined.
His expedition gathered explore geography, climate, customs,plants, language, and animals. He had many problems in his expedition. First, he and hid men had only one summer instead of two years for their exploration. Second, they didn't have enough water ,so they drank salty water and they became sicker from scurvy ( lack of vitamin C ). Third, they had very bad weather with storms. Finally, the Russian government had lost interest in the north pacific ,but then people realized that Bering was one of the great exploration.
