Kotzebue, Otto von (1787-1846)

German explorer, born in Reval (now Tallinn in Estonia). He accompanied the Russian admiral Baron von Krusenstern (1770-1846) round the world in 1803-06 and made two prolonged voyages to the Pacific. On the first (1815-17) he was the first European to visit the Suvorov and Krusenstern Islands and Kotzebue Sound; on the second (1823-26) he visited the islands of the Sandwich, Philippine, and Samoan groups.
