Otto von Kotzebue (1787–1846) was a leading navigator of his age, circumnavigating the globe three times. His 1815 expedition set out to find a passage through the Arctic, investigate the coastlines of Kamchatka and Alaska, and explore the Pacific. Published in 1821, this three-volume translated account was in Darwin's library aboard the Beagle.
