Excerpt from Mountain Exploration: Read Before the Geographical Club, December 9, 1892
The first point that suggests itself in considering mountaineering is to look at the field it opens to explorers: at the extent of mountain ranges all over the world. The mountain countries cover, I believe, some thing like one-sixth of the globe. The Alps, the Pyrenees, the Norwegian Ranges, the Caucasus, in Europe. The Himalayas, the Kuenlun, the hindoo-koosh, the Altai, the Japanese Mountains, and many other ranges, in Asia. The Atlas, the Drakensberg, kilima-njaro, Kenya, Ruwenzori, in Africa. The Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the Mexican Volcanoes, the Alaskan Ranges, the Andes, in America. New Zealand and the Sandwich Islands, in the Pacific. Here is country covering a large area, of which much is still unexplored, and of which what is known is largely due to mountaineers.
