Gabor Csernussi

The aim of this article is, to acquaint you with a forgotten story of a country’s early oceanography activity, which later lost its sea, and 2/3 area of its ground, but never lost the respect to the oceans life. During the time of the Autro- Hungarian Monarchy (1867-1918) the oceanography have been developed in a short time in the Adriatic-Mediterranean region, so there was need for stations to run scientific researches, and to have base stations for the expeditions. The Hungarian scientists always had been among the firsts from the beginning, but they could get own station only in 1905 at Fiume. Before the breaking out of the WW-I they were able to run a lot of researches, and two famous Adriatic expeditions.
