Kamchatka: Bering Island

Curated by ACT

PBS television has aired "Kamchatka: Siberia's Forbidden Wilderness" and this website summarizes that film. In it explores Bering Island, which was discovered by Vitus Bering who died there in 1741. It details the week long events of 1741 which decided the fate of Bering and sixteen other men in his crew. An excellent narrative, even without reference to the film, this web page sheds light on the sea life and fate of the remaining crew members on Bering Island.
