Martins, Charles Frédéric
Charles Frédéric Martins (1806-1889) was French botanist and geologist who was so intrigued by the similarity of geology as well as plant species on the Azores, Spain and Ireland that he suggested in his 1866 book, Du Spitzberg Au Sahara[1440], that these were physically linked in the the distant past and that they may have been part of Atlantis(a).
