Junker charted the course of the Congo and its tributaries during his decade in Central Africa. Born of German parents in Moscow, he was influenced in his desire to explore Africa by Schweinfurth who drew his attention to the lands south of the Libyan desert. His fascination with the region led him to make three expeditions over a period of eleven years and he is recognised as one of the great African explorers.
