Sir Richard Burton was best known as an intrepid explorer with a voracious appetite for adventure who penetrated the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina and was the first European to discover and identify the African Great Lake Tanganyika, the second largest - and deepest - body of fresh water in the world.
