		Semion Ivanovich Dezhnev (Russian: Семён Ива́нович Дежнёв; circa 1605 – 1673), Russian explorer who led the expedition that doubled the known extent of the easternmost promontory of the Eurasian continent in 1648, discovering that Asia is not connected to Alaska.
		As his biographers concluded, Semion Dezhnev was born at the very beginning of the 17th century in Velikiy Ustiug in northern Russia.
		The same year Dezhnev sailed along the northern shores of the tip of Asia and discovered the Anian Strait between Asia and Alaska, thus proving that the Eurasian and the American continents are not connected.

		While the Europeans were looking for a passage to Asia through the Arctic Ocean or through the interior of the North American continent, the Russians were trying to find out if Siberia was linked to North America.
		In 1648, the Cossack Semyon Ivanovich Dezhnev conducted a first expedition which went around the point of Siberia and proved that the two continents were separate.
		But his report was buried in the archives and, when Tsar Peter the Great commanded Vitus Jonassen Bering and Aleksey Ilyich Chirikov to explore this region to find out if the two continents were linked, it was a new beginning and, consequently, it was called the 'first Kamchatka expedition'.

		The sea was explored by the Russian Semyon Dezhnev in the 17th cent., but not until after the voyages of Vitus Bering (1728, 1741) was the fur-seal wealth of the Bering Sea made widely known.
		The whole region was under the control of the Russian American Company, but it proved impossible to prevent mariners from other nations from getting the skins of the seals and the sea otters.

		The years 1639 and 1648 witnessed events of paramount geographic importance: Ivan Moskvitin reached by land the Sea of Okhotsk, and Fedot Alekseyev-Popov and Semyon Dezhnev circumvented the Chukchi Peninsula to discover the strait between Asia and North America.
		This was how the strait between Asia and North America was discovered for a second time (as by that time, [the Russian historian] Gerard Miller had not yet found the records of the earlier voyage under Alekseyev-Popov and Dezhnev, which had been lost in the archives).
		In 1727, the Admiralty decided to send another exploration expedition to be commanded by navigator Ivan Fyodorov and land surveyor Mikhail Gvozdev, who in August of 1732 crossed the Bering Strait, discovered the Diomede Islands and approached Alaska in the vicinity of Prince of Wales Cape.

		The author likens the denial of full credit to Dezhnev in favor of Bering to that denied the Norse in favor of Columbus.
		Frost also is good at relating the work of the Second Expedition’s naturalist George Steller, especially with the natives, much of which was carried out as Bering lay dying.
