  2. Dezhnev • Semyon (Semнon, Semion, Simon) Ivanovich Dezhnev (Russian: Семён Ива́нович Дежнёв; circa 1605–1673) was a Russianexplorer.

  3. VELIKI USTIUG

  4. Dezhnev’s Native City • Semyon Dezhnev's biographers have concluded that he was born at the very beginning of the 17th century in Veliky Ustyug in northern Russia. Like many of the enterprising Russian northmen of the time, he went to Siberia in search of his fortune, and served in Tobolsk and Yeniseysk. Dezhnev became well-known for his experience and bravery.

  5. Velikiy Ustiug First name also spelled Semeon or Semyen, middle name also spelled Ivanov). Russian Cossack navigator (1605/08-1672) who in 1648 made the first recorded voyage through the Bering Strait. A Russian Cossack

  6. The Gulf of AnadyrThe Bering Sea • in 1648 led the expedition that doubled the known extent of the easternmost promontory of the Eurasian continent and discovered that Asia is not connected to Alaska.

  7. The Anadyr River ...is a river in the extreme northeast of Siberia, Russia. The river, taking its rise in the Stanovoi Mountains as the Ivashki or Ivachno, about 67°N latitude and 173°E longitude, flows through Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, at first southwest and then east, and enters the Gulf of Anadyr of the Bering Sea after a course of about 500 miles. The country through which it passes is thinly populated, and is dominated by tundra, which is rich with a variety of plant life. Much of

  8. The same year Dezhnev sailed along the northern shores of the tip of Asia and discovered what was then called the Anian Strait between Asia and Alaska, thus proving that the Eurasian and the American continents are not connected. He followed the shoreline and doubled the Chukchi Peninsula. In his reports Dezhnev gave the description of this legendary "Tabin-Promontorium", the existence of which was rumored by ancient geographers. Dezhnev also described two islands of chukchi people ("Ostrova zubatykh"), now known as Diomede Islands consisting of Ratmanov Island and Kruzenstern Island, located between Asia and Alaska in what is now Bering Strait. He collected interesting ethnographic data about chukchi people ("zubatiye") who decorated their lower lip with pieces of walrus The Anian Strait

  9. In 1670 Prince Boryatinsky (governor of Yakutsk) entrusted Dezhnev with the mission to Moscow. Dezhnev was to deliver there the "sable treasury" and official documents. It took a year and five months for Dezhnev to successfully accomplish this journey. He was over 60 years old and the old wounds received during his service at the borders of Russia and hard toil undermined his health. After severe illness Dezhnev died in Moscow in 1673. The Old Wounds

  10. The Kolyma Party • In 1647 he was approached by F.A. Popov (a fellow northman from Kholmogory), who invited Dezhnev to join the Nizhekolymskaya (Low Kolyma) party and to sail by the sea from Kolyma towards the east in search of the precious "walrus zub (tooth) and fish bones" (walrus tusks and "The final destination of the voyage was supposed to be river Anadyr. But the ice conditions whalebone" or baleen). on the sea forced the party to abort their mission. That did not stop Dezhnev from trying it again the next year.

  11. The Arctic Ocean

  12. Ice Voyage • In 1648 Dezhnev, Popov, and Fedot Alekseev, another of the chief organizers of the expedition, led the party of about 90 to up to 105 men in seven small Arctic-worthy ships (koch) to river Anadyr. It took them ten weeks of sailing north to get to Anadyr estuary. The participation of Dezhnev in this leg of the voyage is undocumented. Only the activities of Fedot Alekseev can be traced today. From the estuary Dezhnev went up the river and founded Anadyrskiy ostrog (fort).
