Eduard von Toll is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Eduard von Toll as Baltic German explorer (1858–1902).
Eduard von Toll was born at Tallinn in 1858. 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 explorer, paleontologist and zoologist.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: N. M. Przhevalsky Medal in Silver.
Eduard von Toll died in 1902, aged 44. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
