Exploration of Lake Bangweulu by Peculcitt Weatherley
A Royal Geographical Society report details Peculcitt Weatherley and a 25 member party circumnavigating Lake Bangweulu in central Africa. They reached the lake in August 186-, established a southeast camp at 3,766 feet, and described shores with shallow depth, swampy east and southeast regions, and various tributaries. The party explored islands such as Mba Wala and Kiruij, noting peaceful, cultivated communities and a life of contentment amid a broad freshwater expanse and surrounding ridges.
