Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun

Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun

Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun (1816 – July 13, 1889) was a French geographer and cartographer.

He was born in Paris, France. The son of Conrad Malte-Brun, another geographer, of Danish origin, and founder of the "Société de Géographie".

In 1851, Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun became a member of the "Société de Géographie", and quickly rose to be its secretary-general.

He died in Marcoussis in the Essonne "département" and is buried in the Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris.

Memory

His name was given to a street in Marcoussis (the one where he used to live).

A mountain of New Zealand, in the Southern Alps on South Island also bears his name: Mount Maltebrun (culminating, according to sources', between 3,176 m and 3,199 m). However, nowhere it is said which of the two geographers was to be honoured by this namegiving.
