Joseph Thomson

Joseph Thomson was a notable Scottish geologist and explorer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for leading expeditions in Africa, particularly exploring the interior of East Africa and discovering the mountain range now known as the Thomson's Falls and the source of the Nile. His work significantly advanced understanding of the African landscape and geology. Thomson collaborated with other explorers and contributed valuable scientific data about African terrains, helping to map and study regions that were largely unknown to Europeans at the time.
