Title:
Alexander von Humboldt in the Andes, early 1800s
Caption:
The explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt travelling on mules in the Andes. Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt (September 14, 1769 - May 6, 1859) was a Prussian geographer, naturalist and explorer. Humboldt travelled extensively in Latin America, exploring and describing it for the first time in a manner considered to be a modern scientific point of view. He was one of the first to propose that the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean were once joined. His five-volume work, Kosmos, 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.
