Alexander von Humboldt - Part 5 - Russia - The Explorers Podcast

Om avsnittet

In 1829, Humboldt heads off to Russia to investigate the Ural Mountains for the Czar. Humboldt would be severely restricted by the Russian government, but that would not stop him from venturing off the beaten track for 2,000 miles - even reaching China. It will be Humboldt's last expedition.
