There is some evidence that 1648 was unusually ice-free ), 3 ) and most important, the fact that the documents can be read to imply only that Dezhnyov rounded a cape on the Arctic coast, was wrecked on that coast and wandered for 10 weeks south to the Anadyr.

In 1648 the Bering Strait between Asia and North America was passed for the first time by Fedot Popov and Semyon Dezhnyov.

* June – September – Semyon Dezhnyov makes the first recorded voyage through the Bering Strait between Asia and North America.

In 1898 the east cape of Asia was officially renamed Cape Dezhnyov, and a large monument was erected in the explorer ’ s memory on the seacoast, complete with stone bust and iron star.

Cape Chelyuskin is at 77 ° 43 ′ N ; Cape Piai in the Malay Peninsula is at 1 ° 16 ′ N ; Cape Baba in Turkey is at 26 ° 4 ′ E ; Cape Dezhnyov is at 169 ° 40 ′ W ; that is, mainland Asia ranges through about 77 ° of latitude and 195 ° of longitude, distances of about long by wide according to Chambers, or long by wide according to Pearson's.

Cape Dezhnyov or Cape Dezhnev (; formerly East Cape or Cape Vostochny ) is a cape that forms the eastmost mainland point of Eurasia.

Satellite image of Bering Strait ; Cape Dezhnyov is on the left.

A mountain ridge in Chukotka, a bay of the Bering Sea, a settlement on Amur River, and Cape Dezhnyov ( the easternmost cape of Eurasia ) are named after Dezhnyov.

In 1758 he published ‘ Nachricten von Seereisen ....’, which made the Dezhnyov story generally known.

According to Lydia Black ( 2004: 17 ), Dezhnyov was recruited for Siberian service, possibly as a service-man or government agent, in 1630.

The mission was at its conclusion, but the party still needed to make it back to St. Petersburg to document the voyage ( thus avoiding the fate of Admiral Semyon Dezhnyov who, unbeknownst to Bering, had made a similar expedition eighty years previously ).

The reasons are: 1 ) the poor documentation, 2 ) the fact that no one was able to repeat Dezhnyov ’ s route until Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld in 1878 / 79 ( Eight unsuccessful attempts were made between 1649 and 1787.

In 1649, Russian explorer Semyon Dezhnyov explored the far north-eastern coast and established winter quarters on the upstream portion of the Anadyr River that became the fortified settlement of Anadyrsk.

It appears that scholars agree only on the fate of Dezhnyov ’ s vessel, which was not lost.

In 1648 Semyon Dezhnyov sailed from the Kolyma River on the Arctic to the Anadyr River on the Pacific, but his route was not practical and was not used for the next 200 years.

From there, they sailed to the Kamchatka peninsula, preparing new ships there and sailing north ( repeating a little documented journey of Semyon Dezhnyov eighty years previously ).

Semyon Ivanovich Dezhnyov (; commonly spelled Dezhnev in English-language sources ; c. 1605 – 1673 ) was a Russian explorer of Siberia and the first European to sail through the Bering Strait, 80 years before Bering did.

By doing this, Fyodorov and Gvozdev completed the discovery of the Bering Strait, once started by Dezhnyov and Fedot Popov and continued by Bering.

Dezhnyov ’ s koch was driven by the storm and was eventually wrecked somewhere south of the Anadyr.

Dezhnyov found a walrus rookery at the mouth of the Anadyr and ultimately accumulated over 2 tons of Walrus ivory which was far more valuable than the few furs found at Anadyrsk.

In 1641 Dezhnyov moved northeast to a newly-discovered tributary of the Indigirka River where he served under Mikhail Stadukhin.

Dezhnyov tried to subjugate the Chukchi and exact tribute during the next ten years, but was mostly unsuccessful.

In 1647 Fedot Alekseyev, an agent of a Moscow merchant, organized an expedition and brought in Dezhnyov because he was a government official.

Dezhnyov recruited his own men, 18 or 19, for fur gathering for private profit, as was the custom at the time.

( In 1653 / 4, Dezhnyov captured from the Koryaks Fedot ’ s Yakut woman who had accompanied him from the Kolyma.

Three of the stronger men got back to Dezhnyov and the rest were never heard of again.

In 1650 Stadukhin and Semyon Motora followed this route and stumbled onto Dezhnyov ’ s camp.

The land route was clearly superior and Dezhnyov ’ s sea route was never used again.

Dezhnyov spent the next several years exploring and collecting tribute from the natives.

During the history of Portugal between 1415 and 1578, Portugal explored the Atlantic Ocean, discovering several Atlantic archipelagos like the Azores, Madeira, or Cape Verde, explored the African coast as well as colonizing selected areas of Africa, discovered an eastern route to India that rounded the Cape of Good Hope, discovered Brazil, explored the Indian Ocean and established trading routes throughout most of southern Asia, and sent the first direct European maritime trade and diplomatic missions to China and Japan.

Four eastern European immigrants were also rounded up at this time and eventually two were deported, one voluntarily to the United States and the other to Eastern Europe.

This shift was caused by the successful circumnavigation of Africa opening up sea-trade with the east: after Portugal's Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good Hope and landed in Calicut, India in May 1498, a new path of eastern trade was possible ending the monopoly of the Ottoman Turks and their European allies, the Italian city-states.

The western part of this mountain range is dominated by steep mountains and fjord inlets, with glaciers stretching towards the sea, while the eastern part of the mountains is more gentle and rounded, with some forested valleys, and is well suited for hiking.

In many parts of the eastern U. S., the large rounded buds of the silver maple are one of the primary food sources for squirrels during the spring, after many acorns and nuts have sprouted and the squirrels ' food is scarce.

For this reason, eastern chalices tend to have larger, rounded cups.

Its leaves are more rounded at the tip than the relatively heart-shaped leaves of the eastern redbud.

In eastern freshwater cod the spiny dorsal fin is moderate in height and is partially separated by a notch from the high, rounded soft dorsal fin.

Nowhere did he claim to have discovered the eastern tip of Asia, merely that he had rounded a great rocky projection on his way to the Anadyr.

Just nine years later in 1497 on the orders of Manuel I of Portugal, four vessels under the command of navigator Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape of Good Hope, continuing to the eastern coast of Africa to Malindi to sail across the Indian Ocean to Calicut in south India-the capital of the local Zamorin rulers. The wealth of the Indies was now open for the Europeans to explore ; the Portuguese Empire was the earliest European seaborne empire to grow from the spice trade.

It is built in sandstone in the shape of a segment of a circle with the rounded off point forming an eastern apse.

The eastern slopes are more heavily dissected by the numerous tributaries of the Nen and Sungari rivers, but generally the mountains are rounded with flat peaks.

Beneath the massive pyramid ( north eastern corner ) in the central plaza of Zempoala, are three puzzling stone rings, each made from rounded beach cobbles jointed together to make small, stepped pillars.

The kousa dogwood can be distinguished from the closely related flowering dogwood ( Cornus florida ) of eastern North America by its more upright habit, flowering about a month later, and having pointed rather than rounded flower bracts.

These two grandstands are flanked by large rounded grandstands to the eastern and western sides.

This crater lies across the eastern rim of the larger satellite crater Rumford T. The perimeter is somewhat rounded and polygonal in shape, with an outward protrusion along the eastern edge.
