The Great Northern Expedition

Discovering the Past - Creating the Future

About the Project

The Great Northern Expedition of the 18th century covered the northern coast of Eurasia, the whole of Siberia, Kamchatka, the seas and lands of the Pacific Ocean, the shores of Japan with its research, and discovered the northwest shores of America unknown to scientists and navigators. Research and scientific discoveries were made in geographical, geological, physical, botanical, zoological and ethnographic directions. For the first time, a complete and detailed map of the Russian Empire was created.

In the 21st century, the longest tourist route is being born, consisting of a series of routes along the route of the Great Northern Expedition - the First, Second Kamchatka expeditions and an Academic detachment led by Vitus Bering and Alexey Chirikov.

BOOKLETS

Books


The book Survive is a collection of short stories about survival in extreme situations. The book is intended for parents and children. Readers can turn information on survival told by experienced travelers into skills and abilities.

The book was born while working with archival materials of the First Kamchatka expedition. The legendary travelers overcame great difficulties in the difficult long-term passage through the whole of Russia. There were many dangerous situations: frostbite, hypothermia, burns and heat stroke, exhaustion or dehydration, bites from snakes, spiders, ticks, wild animals, poisoning from consumption or contact with poisonous plants, poisonous mushrooms, infection from food or from non-drinking water. Most of the expedition participants returned alive and well because they had the necessary survival skills, did not panic in extreme situations, and kept cool and calm.

This book is especially for you, curious, smart, and strong, to save yourself and others in a dangerous situation. Mastery of survival skills will help you overcome dangerous conditions, cure diseases or injuries and avoid fatal interactions with animals, insects, and plants.
