Days of High Adventure: The Congo Expedition of 1909-1915 has inspired a remarkable web site. The expedition was rife with remarkable accomplishments:

By the end of their six years in the Congo, Lang, Chapin, and their assistants had collected spectacular specimens of okapi and square-lipped rhinos (still on exhibit in the Museum's Carl Akeley Hall of African Mammals). More importantly, they had collected the most complete record of the plants, animals, and cultures of the Congo Basin up to that time, including 5,800 mammals, 6,400 birds, 4,800 reptiles and amphibians, 6,000 fish, over 100,000 invertebrates, and 3,800 anthropological objects. In addition, they had 9,890 photographic negatives, more than 300 watercolor paintings, and many volumes of field notes. At least fifteen volumes of scientific findings were later published based on the expedition's work, many of which continue to stand as both seminal and definitive works in their fields.

Sadly, it was cut short by WW1. The site itself is fascinating and rife with remarkable web design accomplishments, including a multimedia presentation that is actually usable over a 56K modem. Well worth some time exploring.
