It would be more beneficial to list geographers as FAMOUS, as those who have greatly contributed to the history and concepts of geography.
Does anybody know of a list of modern people who have studied Geography and then gone on to be successful/use their skills? I need to write an inspiring piece for my school to hopefully persuade more students to choose Geography at GCSE level. Help anybody??

There must be somebody out there who is famous…even imfamous…who has studied Geography! Maybe we should be looking for people who practise geography…explorers..environmentalist…
