Which of the travelers discovered the strait between Eurasia and America?

Until the middle of the eighteenth century, researchers did not know whether America and Eurasia were connected in the north, or whether there was a strait between them. The northwestern shores of North America and eastern Russia were also poorly studied. To map these territories on the map, Emperor Peter the First organized expeditions, one of which was led by the Danish navigator Vitus Bering. It was he who was the first to map the strait between the two indicated continents, which now bears his name.
