However, he does not only visited places closer to the Mediterranean, thanks to his geographic publications it is known that the Archduke made a “round-the-world” trip, from the 1st January to the 19th May of 1881. For instance he visited Los Angeles, city which he described in the book A Flower from the Golden Land or Los Angeles (1878 and 1885). He also published a book about the small German island of Helgoland, which the Archduke visited in his youth: Helgoland, a traveller's tale,1890 and 1901 (2nd edition).
