Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg-Schwerin travelled at a period when the map still had blanks on it, and filled some of them.
The record lists Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg-Schwerin as German monarch and explorer (1857–1920).
Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was born at Schwerin in 1857. 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, regent and prince regent.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Recognition followed: Order of St. Andrew.
Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg-Schwerin died in 1920, aged 63. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
