Victor Adolphe Malte-BrunVictor Adolphe Malte-Brun (b. 1816-July 13, 1889 in Marcoussis ( the Essonne, a suburb of Paris) was a French geographer and cartographer. It is the son of Conrad Malte-Brun, another geographer, of Danish origin , founder of the Société géographique de Paris. Victor Adolphe Malta-Brun became a member of the Société géographique de Paris, in 1851, and quickly became the secretary-general of this.. He is buried with the cemetery of Montparnasse in Paris. Its name was given to a street of the 20e arrondissement of Paris, with a Rue de Marcoussis (precisely the street where it remained). A mountain of New Zealand, in the New Zealand Alps in South Island also bears its name: Mount Maltebrun (culminating, according to sources', between 3,176 m and 3,199 m). However, nothing says which of the two geographers was honoured by this designation. Selection of œuvres of Malta-Brun
