Swiss geologist and professor Hugi made the first scientific study of Alpine glaciers and was a member of the first party to attempt climbing the Finsteraarhorn in the Bernese Alps in 1829, although he did not reach the summit himself. The title page vignette depicts the construction of a hut on the Unteraar glacier in 1830, which is marked on one of the maps. This proved to have an unintended scientific benefit, as the movement of the hut down the glacier over the next several years would yield valuable information about glacial movement. Dreyer 364; Lonchamp 1561; Poggendorff I, 1155.
