Summary "The Lands of Silence: A History of Arctic and Antarctic Exploration" by Sir Clements R. Markham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the extensive history of polar exploration, covering significant figures, notable expeditions, and the scientific and geographical challenges encountered in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Markham’s passion for polar exploration is evident, and the work serves as a tribute to the heroes of past explorations. The opening of the work begins with a preface that outlines Sir Clements Markham's dedication to chronicling polar exploration, explaining the reasons behind the book's creation and the assistance he received during its development. It indicates that although some parts of the manuscript remained unfinished at the time of his death, the overall narrative captures the spirit of exploration and discovery in harsh and uncharted territories. The first chapter introduces the polar regions, emphasizing their vastness and the profound difficulties faced by explorers. Markham highlights the scientific importance of these remote areas and sets the stage for recounting the tireless efforts of numerous explorers over centuries.
