Doreen Massey is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Doreen Massey as British social scientist and geographer.
Doreen Massey was born at Manchester in 1944. Her recorded nationality is United Kingdom.
Modern exploration moved to the places the body cannot survive unaided: the deep ocean, the upper atmosphere and orbit, reached by engineering as much as by nerve.
She is recorded as geographer, university teacher and economist.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Vautrin Lud Prize, Anders Retzius Medal, Victoria Medal and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Doreen Massey died in 2016, aged 72. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
