= Hill 969; Howgego L11. Georg Heinrich Freiherr von Langsdorff (1774-1852) was a German naturalist in Russian diplomatic service who took part of the first Russian circumnavigation under admiral von Krusenstern. In 1805, he left the expedition at Kamtchatka from whence he returned overland to St. Petersburg after exploring the Northwestern part of America. This first part contains an account of the Krusenstern expedition up to the separation in 1805.
