Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin as German explorer (1873-1969).
Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was born at Schwerin in 1873. His recorded nationality is Germany.
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, entomologist and politician.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Great Cross with Star and Sash of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, Grand Cross of the Order of the Griffon, Knight of the Seraphim and Knight of the Order of the Elephant.
Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin died in 1969, aged 96. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
