Albrecht Haushofer

German geographer and diplomat

Albrecht Haushofer belongs to the record of exploration as a figure whose journeys changed what was known.

The record lists Albrecht Haushofer as German geographer and diplomat.

Albrecht Haushofer was born at Munich in 1903. His recorded nationality is Germany.

The heroic age of polar exploration pushed men and dogs to the limits of endurance for objectives that were as symbolic as they were geographic.

He is recorded as geopolitical analyst, diplomat and university teacher.

Exploration was always as much logistics as courage, and the logistics are what decided outcomes.
