Titel: Mount Chimborazo, Equador, early 1800s
Untertitel: Siehe automatische Übersetzung
Mount Chimborazo, as seen by the explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt in the early 1800s. Chimborazo is a currently inactive stratovolcano in the Cordillera Occidental range of the Andes. With a peak elevation of 6,263 m (20,548 ft), Chimborazo is the highest mountain in Ecuador. Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was a Prussian geographer, naturalist and explorer. His quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography. Between 1799 and 1804, Humboldt travelled extensively in Latin America, exploring and describing it for the first time in a manner generally considered to be a modern scientific point of view. His description of the journey was written up and published in an enormous set of volumes over 21 years. He was one of the first to propose that the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean were once joined (South America and Africa in particular). Later, his five-volume work, Kosmos (1845), attempted to unify the various branches of scientific knowledge. He thought an approach to science was needed that could account for the harmony of nature among the diversity of the physical world.
