The Malaspina Expedition (1789-1794) was a five-year maritime scientific exploration commanded by Alessandro Malaspina and Jos� de Bustamante y Guerra. The expedition was funded by the Spanish government and originally pursued strictly scientific goals. They were to survey and chart the islands and coasts under Spanish control or claim, visit the major settlements throughout the Pacific, and collect information on botany, zoology, ichthyology, ethnography and geography. Volume 1- Cadiz to Panama, Volume II - Panama to the Philippines and Volume III - Manila to Cadiz. In reading about WW2 in the Pacific it is mentioned that there were no up to date maps of many of the islands. And even when there were maps, they were hundreds of years old. Perhaps some of Malaspina's maps were the ones we later used. Naturally Wikipedia has a superb description of the expedition, so if you want to see if this explorer comparable to James Cook and Jean-Fran�ois de Galaup, comte de La P�rouse. He measured the height of Mount Saint Elias in Alaska and explored gigantic glaciers, including Malaspina Glacier, later named after him. He was himself an inspiration for Alexander von Humboldt.
