    February 19, 1865 – November 26, 1952

    Sven Hedin was a Swedish geographer and explorer whose expeditions into Central Asia led to the discovery of the Transhimalaya mountain range and the sources of major rivers. He also documented lost cities and archaeological sites within the deserts of the Tarim Basin.
