Symposium: 200 years of Humboldt

Main Article Content

Carlos Soria

Abstract

The German naturalist, Alexander von Humboldt was a great scientific explorer, a philanthropist and a humanist who used his personal fortune to carry out his explorations, from which geoecology and climatology were born, disciplines that he developed with each step he took in the more than 10 000 kilometers of travel through South America in less than a year. His observations, collections and writings of our volcanoes, moors, highlands, tropics and ocean currents described from his worldview the existence of essential and unknown geographies and ecologies in Europe two hundred years ago.
