Sten Bergman (20 October 1895 – 19 February 1975) was a Swedish zoologist and adventurer who visited Korea, Kamchatka, Papua New Guinea, Japan and many other places.
[1] Bergman visited Japan on several occasions during his expeditions in the 1920s and 1930s during his explorations of the Kamchatka Peninsula (1920-1923), Kuril Islands (1929-1930) and Korea (1935-1936).
His travels in Japan resulted in the ornithological study of several Japanese species and breeds of birds such as Red-crowned crane, the famous Onagadori, Great egret, Little grebe, White-cheeked starling and the Siberian rubythroat.
Bergman's 1938 book In Korean Wilds And Villages recounts an expedition to study the birds found in the North of Korea.
In his 1962 book My father is a cannibal, Bergman relates the experiences of two years spent with his wife in New Guinea from 1956 to 1958.
