Histórico
Arthur Douglas Carey passed into the Indian Civil Service in 1864; serving in the Bombay Presidency; became interested in Central Asia and planned an excursion to Northern Tibet which came to fruition in 1885. Much of the route had not been travelled by Europeans and consequently a great deal of information concerning areas such as the Tarim basin was collected. Carey received the RGS's Founder's Medal for this journey in 1889; retired from the Indian Civil Service in 1893, spending the remainder of his life in Switzerland until he died in 1936.
