As things slow down in Alaska during the winter months, that gives us more time to delve into topics that require a little bit more research and so we have decided to use this time to do a Russian mini-series on the podcast. The next four episodes will revolve around the various impacts Russian exploration had on the history of Alaska. Today's episode will focus the first well documented expedition to the Alaskan shores...the Vitus Bering Expedition of 1741. Join us as we embark on an epic story containing exploration, discovery, death, survival and yes, even a ship wreck. How did they know they landed on the American continent? How do you get an island named after you? And what's the most pirate word out there?! It's the episode that'll have you eating your Vitamin C!
