Naturalist, photographer and explorer Isabella Bird was born today in 1831. In a quest to find lands that would suit her poor health, she travelled in North Africa, the Middle East, America and Asia. After climbing two volcanoes in Hawaii, Bird covered over 800 miles in the Rocky Mountains, and threatened to sue the Times Newspaper for saying that she dressed like a man.
