Osa Johnson(and her husband Martin)

Osa Johnson was born in 1894 in Kansas and died after 56 year in New York. She was an american explorer , filmmaker and writer . She went through the African continent with her husband Martin Johnson.

Osa visited a lot of countries in Africa and Asia too with his husband Martin. They made a lot of films about these exotic lands. The couple spent most time of their life studying the wildlife in these faraway lands , most of americans didn’t know anything about these countries so both Osa and Martin offered  many Americans their first understanding of these distant lands. Wonders of the Congo, Jungles Calling , African Paradise are one of the best documentaries made by this couple. They also wrote some books like the best-seller named « I married Adventure ». They have also a museum which is located in Osa’s hometown  , founded in 1961 to to preserve the Johnsons' achievements and to improve the next  research in their fields of study. The museum started with a collection of the Johnsons' films, pictures, notes, articles, books, and personal belongings donated by Osa's mother.

I think they made improvements in the exploration field .And also worked a lot in their books and films. We can say that they are one of the best explorers in the twentieth century.
