Scholars have travelled to the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia’s Far East since the 18th century. Apart from Russian scientists, many were of German or German-Baltic origin, exploring the region at the behest of the Russian government. Their descriptions republished in this series are still considered among the most important ethnographic documentations of Kamchatka’s indigenous peoples. The editors of this series are Erich Kasten and Michael Dürr.
