Alaska / 阿拉斯加
Alaska appears in 120.蓝狐岛:伟大事业中的雄心与现实 as the American coast approached by the Great Northern Expedition / 大北方探险. Vitus Bering / 维图斯·白令’s Saint Peter and Alexei Chirikov / 阿列克谢·齐里科夫’s Saint Paul both reach or approach the region, but the source emphasizes uncertainty, limited landing time, failed contact, and fear of water, food, reefs, and local people.
The episode also treats Alaska as the later commercial and colonial afterlife of the expedition routes. Sea Otter / 海獭 demand, company conflict, Russian-American Company / 俄美公司 consolidation, marine-animal depletion, and eventual sale to the United States make Alaska a key node in Russian North Pacific Expansion and the Exploration To Extraction Pipeline.
