The First Scientific Expeditions to the Bering Strait and to the Russian Colonies in America
Based on the geographical atlases of the 16th century, the German scientist G. Leibniz proposed to Peter I a project aimed at discovering a strait between Asia and America, studying the Earth’s magnetic field, cartographic and other research in Russia. In December 1724, Peter I signed a decree on eq...

Based on the geographical atlases of the 16th century, the German scientist G.
