Ernest Desjardins is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Ernest Desjardins as French historian, geographer and archaeologist (1823–1886).
Ernest Desjardins was born at Noisy-sur-Oise in 1823. His recorded nationality is France.
Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.
He is recorded as geographer, historian and professor.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Ernest Desjardins died in 1886, aged 63. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
