Carl Lumholtz [1851, Lillehammer – 1922, New York] is<br />

considered one of the great explorers from the last decades<br />

of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th<br />

century. For almost 40 years he explored the jungles and<br />

desert regions of Australia, Mexico and Borneo, and he<br />

was internationally recognized as a naturalist, ethnographer,<br />

author, speaker and photographer.<br />

Lumholtz grew up in Lillehammer, where his father was<br />

a company commander in the infantry. In 1869, he became<br />

a student at Lillehammer School and, in accordance<br />

with his father’s wishes, began to study theology. Having<br />

for two years as a house teacher for farm owner Marentius<br />
