Andrey Krasnov

Russian botanist and geographer (1862-1914)

Andrey Krasnov is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.

The record lists Andrey Krasnov as Russian botanist and geographer (1862-1914).

Andrey Krasnov was born at Saint Petersburg in 1862. His recorded nationality is Russian Empire.

Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.

He is recorded as botanist and geographer.

What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.

Andrey Krasnov died in 1915, aged 53. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
