The record lists Waldo R. Tobler as American geographer (1930–2018).
Waldo R. Tobler was born at Portland in 1930. His recorded nationality is United States.
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 and cartographer.
The record of exploration is also a record of the people already living in the places reached.
Waldo R. Tobler died in 2018, aged 88. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
