Title Reise in die Aequinoctial-Gegenden des neuen Continents. Band 3.
Summary "Reise in die Aequinoctial-Gegenden des neuen Continents. Band 3" by Alexander von Humboldt is a scientific travelogue written in the mid-19th century. The work documents Humboldt's explorations and observations of the natural environment, geography, and indigenous peoples in the tropical regions of South America, specifically focusing on the area around the Orinoco River and its tributaries. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the great rivers of Apure, Payara, and Arauca, discussing their historical significance and the various challenges faced by explorers and settlers in these regions. Humboldt paints a vivid picture of the landscape and biodiversity, detailing his observations of the flora and fauna, including the interactions between animals, such as horses and crocodiles, during the seasonal floods. He recounts both the environmental conditions and the cultural context of the local inhabitants, while also presenting significant meteorological observations. Through descriptive prose, Humboldt sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the intricate relationship between the natural world and human endeavors in these uncharted territories.
