Benjamin Leigh Smith discovered and named dozens of islands in the
Arctic but published no account of his pioneering explorations. He
refused public accolades and sent stand-ins to deliver the results
of his work to scientific societies. Yet, the Royal Geographic
Society's Sir Clements R. Markham referred to him as a polar
explorer of the first rank. Travelling to the Arctic islands that
Leigh Smith explored and crisscrossing England to uncover
unpublished journals, diaries, and photographs, archaeologist and
writer P.J. Capelotti details Leigh Smith's five major Arctic
expeditions and places them within the context of the great polar
explorations in the nineteenth century.
