Meeting of Frontiers: Gallery -- Bering, Chirikov, and Gvozdev
Although Danish by birth, Vitus Jonassen Bering (1681-1741) spent most of his adult life in the Russian navy. In 1725, shortly before his death, Peter the Great instructed Bering to prove definitely that Siberia was separated from North America and to find the nearest European settlement in the New World. During the First Kamchatka Expedition (1725-30), Bering and his assistant lieutenant, Aleksei Chirikov (1703-48), sailed north along the coast of Kamchatka, and in August 1728 passed between the two continents.

Abruzzi, Luigi Amedeo, duca degli, 1873–1933
Italian explorer and mountain climber; cousin of Victor Emmanuel III. He led (1897) the first ascent of Mt. St. Elias in Alaska. His polar expedition (1899–1900) reached a point farther north than Nansen's record. He explored (1906) the Ruwenzori range in Africa and in an attempt on K2 (Mt. Godwin-Austen) in the Himalayas set (1909) a world record for altitude (24,600 ft). [eng] |

Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Pierre Du Gua de Monts (c1558-1628).
Not much can be said about de Monts' earlier years. He "distinguished himself fighting in the cause of Henri IV during the religious wars in France." (DCB.) He thus had developed good connections at court and was able to secure an exclusive trading licence in respect to North American fur. The fur trade was one in which it was thought money could be made, since, during these times, the European smart set wished to be decked out in furs. These furs, as the returning fishermen could show, were obtainable by trading with the natives of North America. [eng] |

, 1866–1965, African-American arctic explorer, b. Charles County, Md. He accompanied Robert E.

Explorers Voyage Toward North Pole
In the summer of 1871, George Tyson joined an expedition outfitted by the U.S. Navy to attempt to reach the North Pole. Tyson was a 41-year old New England whaling captain, and had sailed the Arctic seas for twenty years before teaming up with the expedition as assistant navigator. [eng] |

The Arctic Voyages of Olivier Brunel
Brunel was born at Louvain (or possibly Brussels) in about 1540. As one of the earliest Flemish navigators in the Arctic Ocean, he first sailed beyond Lapland in 1564 or 1565 in search of a northeast route to China, possibly in association with the company of Philips Winterkoning, who was already by that time established on the northern coasts. After placing a trading post at the mouth of the Dvina River, Brunel was taken prisoner at Kholmogory by the Russian government, having been denounced by agents of the English Muscovy company as a spy.

Discoverers Web: Willoughby & Chancellor
The first expedition of the Company of Merchant Adventurers was led by Sir Hugh Willoughby. He had no prior nautical or navigational experience, but seems to have been chosen for his leadership qualities. Richard Chancellor would function as the pilot-general of the small fleet (three ships, the Bona Esparanza under Willoughby, the Edward Bonaventure under Chancellor and the Bona Confidentia). The ships left London on 10 May 1553, but off the Lofotan Islands the ships were caught in a storm, and Chancellor's ship was separated from the other two. [eng] |

Joseph-Elzear Bernier, Arctic Mariner - ExploreNorth
Between 1904 and 1911, Captain Joseph Bernier did more than any other person to solidify Canada's claim to the Arctic Islands. Going beyond just his presence as a government agent, he unveiled a plaque on Melville Island in 1909 that made that statement in bronze. [eng] |

Middleton had been sent out in search of a Northwest Passage in order to ease the minds of merchants who accused the Hudson's Bay Company of trying to avoid the discovery of a passage which might lead to the loss of their exclusive rights in the North. [eng] |

Charles Francis Hall
The excellent chart which Hall prepared on his first voyage was so exact that it was not until the application of aerial photography that it was improved upon. [eng] |

Publius Historicus: Corte Real
Son père est gouverneur aux Açores. Après les découvertes de Christophe Colomb et les clauses entre portugais et espagnols qui délimitent les zones de monopole de chacun, Corte Real cherche des terres au Nord-Ouest qui pourraient appartenir au Portugal. Il obtient licence du roi Manuel et part de l'Ile de Terceira (Açores) en 1500 avec deux navires. Il approche du Gröenland, explore le Labrador et aboutit à Terre-Neuve, qu'il décrit comme une terre très verte et riche en bois. Les habitants sont correctement comparés aux lappons du roi de Norvège. [fra] |
