About the author

Sir Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham

1830–1916

An energetic Victorian geographer and writer, he helped shape Britain’s age of exploration and became one of the strongest early champions of Antarctic discovery. His books draw on a life that ranged from naval service and South American travel to years at the heart of the Royal Geographical Society.
