Gmelin, Johann Georg
Reise durch Sibirien von dem Jahr 1733 bis 1743, Bd. 1 (v. 4).
Göttingen, Vandenhoeck, 1751. 13 Bl., 467 S. Neuerer brauner Halblederband mit Lederecken und dreiseitigem Farbschnitt.. Mit 2 Kupfertafeln. Reisebeschreibung des Botanikers und Forschungsreisenden Johann Georg Gmelin (1709 - 1755) über seine Teilnahme an der "Großen Nordischen Expedition" bzw. "Zweiten Kamtschatkaexpedition" in den Jahren 1733 bis 1743. Ziel dieser unter der Leitung des Marineoffiziers Vitus Bering ("Kolumbus des Zaren", 1681 - 1741) unternommenen Expedition war vor allem die nähere Erkundung des bis dahin wenig erforschten Sibiriens und der nördlichen Küsten Rußland sowie der Seewege von Ostsibirien nach Nordamerika und Japan. Gmelin, der 1728 im Alter von erst 19 Jahren an der Universität Tübingen in den Fächern Medizin und Naturwissenschaften promoviert hatte, erlangte zur Fortsetzung seiner Studien ein Stipendium der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in St. Petersburg und 1731 eine Professur für Chemie und Naturgeschichte an der dortigen Universität. Ein Jahr darauf wurde er auf seine Bewerbung hin von Zarin Anna Iwanowna für die große Expedition ausgewählt. Die zehnjährige Reise bildete die Grundlage für Gmelins einschlägiges, in vier Bänden herausgegebenes Werk "Flora Sibirica sive Historia plantarum Sibiriae". Im hier vorliegenden Band 1 seines umfangreichen Berichtes beschreibt Gmelin den ersten Teil seiner Reise, die ihn über die Stationen Jaroslawl, Kasan, Tobolsk, Semipalatinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk (Öskemen), Tomsk, Jenisseisk und Irkutsk bis Jakutsk führen sollte, von 1733 bis zum Mai 1735.

Nineteen of the twenty- five crew members would perish in the Arctic and one more would die on the journey home after Greely's party was rescued near Cape Sabine. Rumors of cannibalism would haunt the survivors of the expedition for the rest of their lives. Pictured here are several of the expedition members including Adolphus Greely just before they departed. The standing men are identified as follows: D. Schneider D. Cross D. Linn S. Long S. Frederick D. Henry S. Connell D. Bender D. Salor S. Bierdersack D. Gardner D. Ellis and D.
