Stepan Petrovich Krasheninnikov
In 1755, naturalist Stepan Krasheninnikov published this account of an expedition to Kamchatka in 1733–43 to extend scientific and geographical knowledge of eastern lands. Published in English translation in 1764, the work is a fascinating and detailed account of a huge area virtually unknown to the western world.
