# Otto Ampferer

> Otto Ampferer was an Austrian alpinist and geologist. To explain the complex processes of Orogeny, he developed his "theory of undercurrent" with the idea of a partially plastic deep Earth's crust (asthenosphere). He became – even before Alfred Wegener – the pioneer of the modern view of continental drift.
