ALEXANDRINE
TINNE
Alexandrine Tinne was
born on the
17 October 1835 in the Netherlands. She
became famous because she explored
important parts of
Affrica.
When she finished to
explore Africa, she attempted
to reach the Touaregs in 1868 but failed. After that, in 1869, she
again made an attempt to reach the Touaregs. She started from
Tripoli, in Libia with
a caravan. In her route she met the German explorer Gustav Nachtigal,
and with him, tried to cross the desert of Sahara. When he wants to
go to the Tibesti Mountains first, she set out for the south on her
own. In their caravan they all had many
diseases, and she wasn't
able to keep order in her group.
Tragically, in one early
morning she was murdered by Tuareg people, and she couldn't
achieve her goal to
reach the Touaregs, but she became famous for her attempt to cross
the Sahara desert.
