"Commandant Audemard is modesty and simplicity itself.
When we talk to him about the trip he has just accomplished with particular happiness in regions, some of which had not yet been explored, he defends himself from having done nothing extraordinary. It's not exploration," he says, "it's a route survey...
And yet, it is exploration, despite his modesty, and a good one, without ostentation or fuss, but rich in hydrographic results.
For Commandant Audemard is above all a hydrographer. And what a mission he brings back to us! We have seen the enormous quantity of notes and observations he made during his voyages, supported by nearly two hundred charts* meticulously drawn up with altitudes, true staff maps, all documents illustrated with photographic clichés in profusion, and even drawings."
