Described by Charles Darwin as the greatest scientific traveller who ever lived, Alexander von Humboldt helped to transform western science in the nineteenth century. Naturalist, botanist, zoologist, author, cartographer, artist, and sociologist, he is widely respected as the founder of physical geography (and climatalogy), and his influence on all branches of natural science still persists today.
