Motivated by an urge to explore, Arch-Duke Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria in 1857 sent the frigate "Novara" on a trip of scientific discovery around the world.
He returned to Vienna in the middle of 1855 and, with the support of Archduke Maximilian, became a member of the group of scientists travelling on board the frigate Novara around the world (see Novara expedition).
