The opening of the second volume describes the commencement of a march through Central and Eastern Midian, delving into the geography and ecology of the terrain. Burton paints vivid images of the rocky landscapes, flora, and fauna, while detailing the logistical challenges faced by the expedition. He introduces important locations, such as the ruins at Shuwák, providing a glimpse into the past civilizations that once thrived in these areas. The narrative is rich in descriptive language, making the unique features of the Midian landscape come alive, while reflecting Burton's keen interest in the natural world and ancient history.
