Vitus Bering landed on Kayak Island (in the Gulf of Alaska) on 15 July 1741 during the Second Kamchatka (Great Northern) Expedition. After going ashore he and a landing party searched the island for fresh water and food, made observations and basic surveys of the coast, and recorded their position and natural history notes. They found the island uninhabited and did not meet any local people there. After a short stay they reboarded their ship and continued charting and reconnoitring the Alaskan coastline as part of their larger mission to map the North Pacific and look for passages to North America.
