Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.
The record lists Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski as Polish scientist and explorer who participated in the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1872-1954).
Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski was born at Dworszowice Kościelne in 1872. His recorded nationality is Poland.
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 explorer, geographer and physicist.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Recognition followed: Commander with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta and Commander of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski died in 1954, aged 82. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
