Emmanuel de Margerie belongs to the record of exploration as a figure whose journeys changed what was known.
The record lists Emmanuel de Margerie as French geographer (1862-1953).
Emmanuel de Margerie was born at 7th arrondissement of Paris in 1862. His recorded nationality is France.
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 geologist, geographer and university teacher.
Exploration was always as much logistics as courage, and the logistics are what decided outcomes.
Recognition followed: Officer of the Legion of Honour, Lyell Medal, Mary Clark Thompson Medal and Cullum Geographical Medal.
Emmanuel de Margerie died in 1953, aged 91. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
