Southern amerika

As we already specified, geographical research of the South America since times of the Spanish gain and up to the end of XVIII century was conducted from the most various places and was not under construction under any certain plan. So, for example, in each century since time of penetration of Europeans to the South America transcontinental travel from Atlantic to Pacific ocean were made. In the same way researches Asary and French expedition La-Kondamina were undertaken in those districts which general orography was and before is known. For this reason in the South America it is impossible to note that gradual advancement from known districts in unknown persons which characterises gradual growth of research of the North America.

Further we assume to follow offered Siversom to a consideration order though as he specifies, this order is not absolutely satisfactory. It divides XlX century into two periods. The first half of the century is characterised made the whole revolution in this area Humboldt's by travel and a number of large research expeditions to separate parts of continent, as, for example, to Brazil or Guiana. The second half of the century is characterised (behind separate large exceptions) set of smaller and regular researches.
