Tempest Anderson

Tempest Anderson

Tempest Anderson (7 December 1846 - August 26 1913 ["Who's Who 1914, p. xxi] ) was an ophthalmic surgeon at York County Hospital in the United Kingdom. He was also an expert amateur photographer and vulcanologist. He witnessed the eruptions in the West Indies in 1902 and 1907.

He was born in York, and died on board ship on the Red Sea while returning from visiting the volcanoes of Indonesia and the Philippines. He was buried in Suez, Egypt.

In 1904 Anderson received an honorary degree of D.Sc. from the University of Leeds. He was President of the Yorkshire Philosophical Society, and in 1912 he presented the society with a 300-seat lecture theatre (the "Tempest Anderson Hall") attached to the Yorkshire Museum in York Museum Gardens.
