  Biography

  He was a native of Windsheim (Germany), near Nuremberg, and studied at the University of Wittenberg.

  

  Steller left Saint Petersburg in January 1738, reaching Okhotsk on the eastern coast in August 1740, where he met Bering. Because of his early death, his publications are scanty; we have his original article on the animals of Bering Island, including the sea cow, in the journal of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg, for the year 1751.

  Steller went ashore on the east coast of Kamchatka to spend the winter in Bolsherechye, where he helped to organize a local school and began exploring Kamchatka. That stop was used by Steller to tour the island, being the first European naturalist to describe numerous plants and animals of North America, including the blue jay, then unknown to Europeans and which would later be called Steller's jay in his honor (Cyanocitta stelleri).

  Both the Steller's sea cow and Pallas's cormorant became extinct shortly after due to indiscriminate hunting. ISBN 3-930195-61-5
