This illustrated account traces the 1785–94 Russian expedition led by Joseph Billings (1758–1806) to chart the east Siberian coastline and undertake scientific observations. Written up by Martin Sauer, the expedition's secretary, this 1802 publication includes descriptions of the peoples found living in the most inhospitable of environments.
