Otto Ampferer Life story
Otto Ampferer was an Austrian alpinist and geologist. To explain the complex processes of Orogeny, he developed his "theory of undercurrent" with the idea of a partially plastic earth's crust. He became – even before Alfred Wegener – the pioneer of the modern view of mobilism.
