About the author

Founded in London in 1830, this learned society was created to advance geographical science. Over time it became one of Britain's best-known institutions for geography, supporting research, expeditions, education, lectures, and publishing.

As an author credit, the Royal Geographical Society usually represents a corporate body rather than a single writer. Books and journals linked to it often draw on the work of explorers, scholars, travelers, and lecturers connected with the society, which gives its publications a broad and distinctive voice.

Its long history in exploration and geographical study makes it a familiar name on classic travel narratives, reference works, and society publications. Readers can expect writing shaped by curiosity about places, peoples, landscapes, and the history of discovery.
