Expedition with Vitus Bering






       In 1733, Vitus Bering planned to explore the east coast of Siberia, and to find whether Asia and North America were connected by land bridge. He took  group of people with him, and I was among these guys. At the beginning of the expedition we worked to build a ship because we were going to cross the ocean. After we crossed half of our way , there were some problems that made us weak, such as a storm that took away some of our food. Then, we were unlucky because the two ships lost contact, but I was in Bering’s ship. The day after storm, we saw  mountains across the sea and that proved North America and Asia were separated. During the expedition many men were sick from scurvy due to lack of vitamin C. Finally, we landed in small island where no trees but there were animals and birds to eat and some wood to build a ship to leave the island.
