Georg Wilhelm Steller / 乔治·威廉·斯特勒

Georg Wilhelm Steller is the naturalist, doctor, and Lutheran pastor who becomes one of the decisive figures in 120.蓝狐岛：伟大事业中的雄心与现实. The episode describes him as prickly and poorly integrated into expedition politics, but unusually attentive to Siberian officials’ exploitation of Indigenous people and to concrete evidence from plants, animals, and sick bodies.

Steller’s practical value becomes clearest during the Saint Peter’s crisis. His Scurvy Nutrition Insight about green plants, his care for sick crew members, his work on Bering Island / 白令岛, and his observation of Steller’s Sea Cow / 斯特勒海牛 make him a bridge between expedition survival and natural-history knowledge. The source also notes that many specimens were abandoned to make room on the return vessel, while Sea Otter / 海獭 skins were kept, sharpening the contrast between science and extraction.
