Ignacio Domeyko
Ignacio (Ignacy) Domeyko - the initiator of mineralogy and geology science in Chile
Ignacy or Ignacio Domeyko was born in 1802
in Belarus, Russia. He felt himself closer as a Polish or
Lithuanian. He studied at Wilna. 1831 Domeyko emigrated from
Poland, with stations in Dresden, Freiberg and Paris arrived in
1838 in Chile. At first he was a teacher at the College of
Coquimbo / La Serena. In 1847 he entered the University of
Chile, became its Rector in 1867, this function carried out
until 1883.
After an extensive trip to Europe, he died in 1889 in Santiago.
Domeyko made a huge amount of excursions to the unknown and
unexplored Atacama Desert, described deposits, new geological
formations, new minerals.
His international contribution to mineralogy at this time was
enormous. It is important to mention that Domeyko's works in
Atacama originally date from 1840 to 1870 approximately, his
1909 publication was a compilation of his most important works.
At this time, geological observations in the field were slowly
coupled with a great global idea, which allowed us to understand
the complexity of nature in a more integral way.
