Join us on a search for the first people to have crossed the Bering Strait into North America. "Odyssey to the New World" is a five-week adventure following a scientific expedition from Yakutsk, Siberia, to Kodiak Island, Alaska.

With a satellite phone, a laptop, and digital cameras, we'll report daily from the field. Each week's story will follow the expedition's progress from Siberia and Alaska via satellite -- if all goes well.
