The methodology of scientific geography in Estonia and Finland has been summarised by Johannes Gabriel Granö (1929, 1997). This paper examines the history of geography as a dualistic discipline between science and the humanities in Estonia. In order for this kind of development to advance, both external (especially German and Russian) influences and changes within the realm of science need to occur (Granö, 1981, 1987). This article considers both.
