The Duke of Abruzzi planned a bold ascent of Mount Ruwenzori in Central Africa after successes in Alaska and Mount Elias. He assembled guides and supplies in London but learned that Dr. Grauer had reached the summit, forcing the prince to abandon the African expedition and refocus on the North Pole.
