“Chamisso was also a noted scientist involved in the discovery of the metagenesis of certain mollusks and a philologist known for his studies of Australasian languages. When he was botanist on a scientific voyage around the world (1815–18), he kept a diary, Reise um die Welt mit der Romanzoffischen Entdeckungs-Expedition (1836; ‘Voyage Around the World with the Romanzov Discovery Expedition’), which became a classic of its kind.” (Adelbert von Chamisso, Encyclopædia Britannica)
