Friedrich Christoph Müller

German theologian and cartographer

Friedrich Christoph Müller is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.

The record lists Friedrich Christoph Müller as German theologian and cartographer.

Friedrich Christoph Müller was born at Allendorf (Lumda) in 1751. His recorded nationality is Germany.

Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.

He is recorded as theologian, cartographer and astronomer.

What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.

Friedrich Christoph Müller died in 1808, aged 57. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
