Roger Brunet is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Roger Brunet as French geographer.
Roger Brunet was born at Toulouse in 1931. His recorded nationality is France.
Modern exploration moved to the places the body cannot survive unaided: the deep ocean, the upper atmosphere and orbit, reached by engineering as much as by nerve.
He is recorded as geographer, professeur des universités and cartographer.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Vautrin Lud Prize, Honorary doctor of the University of Liège and Honorary doctor of the University of Lausanne.
