		Bering was working in the employ of the Russia Navy, and had just discovered the coast of Alaska when he and his Russian crew attempted to sail back to Kamchatka across what later became known as the Bering Sea.

		He was only naturalist to have witnessed Bering Island's wildlife in its natural state and to have examined and described the Steller's sea cow before it became extinct.

	Kamchatka: Bering Island
		The reason for filming on Bering Island was a simple one: The island is part of the Kamchatka Oblast, or political region, and nearly three-quarters of it is a biosphere reserve.
		And not just any island, but one with an incredible abundance of both richly-furred sea otters and with "sea cows" -- enormous docile beasts with flesh as tasty as beef.
		By 1754, only 13 years after the discovery of Bering Island, a czarist envoy wrote that sea cows were being exterminated at such a rate that they would soon be eradicated.

	Mammoths stranded on Bering Sea island delayed extinction (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Paul, one of the five islands in the Bering Sea Pribilofs, was home to mammoths that survived the extinctions that wiped out mainland and other Bering Sea island mammoth populations.
		The mammoths were able to survive on St. Paul so long as the island provided enough grazing forage and there were sufficient numbers of animals to prevent inbreeding pressures, Guthrie said, and at its present size of 36 square miles is too small to sustain a permanent mammoth population.
		PDF of Guthrie's Nature article, "Radiocarbon evidence of mid-Holocene mammoths stranded on an Alaskan Bering Sea island" and an image of Dale Guthrie holding a mammoth molar are available by contacting Marie Gilbert, 907-474-7412, marie.gilbert@uaf.edu.
