Note 33 — Chapter V
Reading edition
In 1820, Admiral (then Lieutenant) Wrangel travelled from the mouth of the Kolyma to Behring’s Straits on sledges drawn by dogs, and made a bold but vain attempt to reach the North pole. Lieutenant Anjou, at the same time, sailed from the mouth of the Jana river, reached 761⁄2 degrees of north latitude, and passed round the group of the New Siberian Islands.
