Moskvitin's expedition had sailed downstream before reaching the Pacific in mid-September.
Moskvitin's Cossacks build a winter camp on the shore of the Sea of Okhotsk at the Ulya River and learn from the indigenous population of the proximity of the Amur River.
They apparently sail to the mouth of the Amur River in April 1640 and spot the Shantar Islands on their way back.
