The book details the author's explorations and observations of the Rwenzori mountain range in Africa, which had long eluded discovery due to its veiling by clouds. It aims to illuminate the geographical significance of the region, particularly its relationship to the sources of the Nile River, as well as the ecological diversity found within this unique alpine environment. The opening of the narrative recounts the initial views and thoughts of explorers like Henry M. Stanley, who first caught a glimpse of the Rwenzori peaks. It sets the stage for the book by discussing the historical context of the region's discovery, the challenges faced by earlier explorers, and the unconfirmed existence of snow-capped mountains that were suspected to feed the Nile. The text also introduces the author's preparation for his expedition in 1906, highlighting both the complex logistics involved and the anticipation of finally confronting the elusive peaks shrouded in cloud and mist, thus laying the groundwork for the scientific explorations to follow.
