Abstract
Otto von Kotzebue was born in Reval, Estonia, part of the Russian empire. Kotzebue, the son of the dramatist August von Kotzebue, was a Russian naval officer who completed three circumnavigations of the Earth, charted much of the Alaskan coast, and discovered and named Kotzebue Sound, off western Alaska, as well as several islands in the Society and Marshall groups in the Pacific. He accompanied the first Russian-sponsored circumnavigation of the globe between 1803 and 1806. In 1816, as a lieutenant in the second Russian circumnavigation of the globe, Kotzebue entered the South Pacific via Cape Horn and visited Easter Island as well as many Polynesian islands in the Tuamotu archipelago.
