Years: 1791 - 1791
The expedition makes contact with the Tlingit at Yakutat Bay.
Spanish scholars make a study of the tribe, recording information on social mores, language, economy, warfare methods, and burial practices.
Artists with the expedition, Tomas de Suria and José Cardero, produce portraits of tribal members and scenes of Tlingit daily life.
A glacier between Yakutat Bay and Icy Bay is subsequently named Malaspina Glacier.
Botanist Luis Née collects and describes numerous new plants during this time.
