I had celebrated my last birthday in a very unusual way. I wanted to invite my friends for the party and birthday cake, and we were already planning all the details with my mother, but over sudden my small sister got seriously sick, and emergency took her with my mother to the hospital two days before my birthday. I felt myself lost, extremely worried about my sister, and helpless. All of my friends were already invited to the party and I didn’t know what to do. I called my best friend to talk about my problems and cancel the party, but he told me: “Let’s take the cake and go to the hospital!” Why didn’t I think about it myself? I called all my friends and asked them what did they think about the party in the hospital – and they all agreed to this plan. My father arranged the cake in the hospital, and some balloons for decoration, and also he invited a funny clown for all the children. The party was short, but very nice and filled with joy and happiness. We were playing games, laughing and eating my birthday cake, and I was very happy to be with my family, friends, and all the children from the hospital. 

Vitus Jonassen Bering, also known as Ivan Ivanovich Bering, was born in August 1681, in Horsens, Denmark. He was a Danish map-maker and explorer in Russian service, and an officer in the Russian Navy. Bering is known for exploration of the Bering Strait and Alaska.  

Vitus Bering was the captain of the First Kamchatka Expedition and the Great Northern Expedition. In July 1728 Bering set sail from the Siberian peninsula of Kamchatka and in August passed through the Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean. In spite of the bad weather he concluded that Siberia and America were not joined.  

During the reign of Empress Anna, in 1741, Bering's expidition mapped much of the Arctic coast of Siberia. Bering sailed into the Gulf of Alaska and explored the southwestern coast, the Alaska Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands. He died in December, 1741, on Bering Island, near the Kamchatka Peninsula.

The Bering Strait, the Bering Sea, Bering Island, the Bering Glacier and the Bering Land Bridge were all named in his honor.

Витус Йонассен Беринг, также известный как Иван Иванович Беринг, родился в августе 1681 года в городе Хорсенс, в Дании. Он был датским картографом и исследователем на службе в России и офицером военно-морского флота России. Беринг известен как исследователь Берингова пролива и Аляски.

Витус Беринг был капитаном Первой Камчатской Экспедиции и Великой Северной Экспедиции. В июле 1728 года Беринг отплыл от Сибирского полуострова на Камчатку и в августе через Берингов пролив в Северный Ледовитый океан. Несмотря на плохую погоду, он пришел к выводу, что Сибирь и Америка не соединяются.

Во время правления императрицы Анны, в 1741 году, экспедиция Беринга нанесла на карту большую часть арктического побережья Сибири. Беринг отправился в залив Аляска и разведал юго-западное побережье, полуостров Аляска и Алеутские острова. Он умер в декабре 1741 года на острове Беринга, недалеко от Камчатского полуострова.

В его честь были названы Берингов пролив, Берингово море, остров Беринга, ледник Беринга и заповедник Беринг-Лэнд-Бридж.
