Henrik Munthe

Henrik Vilhelm Munthe (1 November 1860 – 15 August 1958) was a Swedish geologist.

Biography Munthe became a student in 1882 and in 1892 a doctor of philosophy and associate professor of geology at Uppsala University, where he was acting professor of mineralogy and geology in 1894–96. In 1898 he was appointed and in 1899 regular geologist at the Swedish Geological Survey (SGU). In the years 1904-13 he was secretary of the Geological Society in Stockholm. Munthe received the title of professor in 1917. He was elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1928. Having begun his career using bicycles to survey the terrain Munthe continued to advocate using bicycle well after survey by car had become commonplace. a lake that would prove "the most enigmatic (and discussed) of the many Baltic stages".

Later he endorsed the idea of an outlet for this lake at the near Degerfors (Svea River) proposed by Lennart von Post in the 1920s. The two worked together until 1927 when their relation fell apart. a strident outcast of Sweden's geological community.
