La Recherche Expedition (1838–1840)
- La Recherche Expedition (1838–1840)
The La Recherche Expedition of 1838-1840 was a French Admiralty expedition whose destination was the North Atlantic and Scandinavian islands, including the Faroese Islands, Spitsbergen and Iceland. Joseph Paul Gaimard, a physician and zoologist was the commanding officer of the expedition. The expedition was on a purely scientific nature, rather than a colonial venture in cooperation with the governments of Norway and Sweden. Gaimard invited the Sami minister and botanist Lars Levi Laestadius on the voyage for his knowledge in botany and Sami culture.
