  • Summary

  • Climatology might seem like it's been around forever, but it's actually one of the newer sciences. One of the fathers of this science was Alexander von Humboldt, who traveled to South America and Mexico with one goal in mind—to demystify the New World and illuminate how the so-called "primitive" natives really lived there.


    In an extended journey across several nations with his companion, Aimé Bonpland, the scientists studied animals, mountains, the weather, people, settlements, volcanoes... practically anything they could get their hands on, documenting everything they could, and making discoveries that blew European minds, once they made it back home.


    In fact, much of the modern climatology knowledge we possess, including wind currents, is a result of Humboldt's work, which is why he is held in great esteem to this day.


    But I'm not going to spoil any details here - check out the newest episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast and enjoy!
