Geographical
science, when shared with the art of war, is in the interest to control territory.
The obvious link between geography and war is the cartography. Already in the
19th century, the British Raj, wanting to affirm his domination in Asia, trusted
the British officers who travelled the remote mountains and back are as of the
north, with the cartography of the Indian sub continent and its borders. They
were long, difficult and perilous missions. Sir Godwin Austen, as well as George
Everest were Survey Officers of India. They devoted their lives to writing pages
of figures, going through cold and inhospitable places, sometimes disguised
as natives, sometimes illness took over, but they always continued to add their
contribution to this enormous task, the establishment of a detailed chart of
the sub continent. From the south of India in 1808, the great Survey Officers
progressed step by step. The Everest (Peak XV) was only identified in 1848 and
K2 in 1856, after half a century of exploration.
