Frank Oates Frank Oates (1840–1875) was a British naturalist, explorer and uncle to Antarctic explorer Lawrence Oates. He was one of the first Europeans to see the Victoria Falls. ==Early life== Oates was born in Meanwoodside, near Leeds, Yorkshire, in 1840. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, which he entered late in 1860, but left before taking a degree. This was due to severe ill health, and he was an invalid for some years after 1864. Oates' first significant expedition was to Central America and North America, and lasted one year, from 1871-1872. Most of this time was spent collecting bird and insect specimens in Guatemala, though he traveled widely and spent some weeks camping in the mountains of California. Upon his return to Britain, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
