 In June 1741, several members of the circle, including Windham, joined Richard Pococke in making an expedition to Chamonix.They appear to have been the first recorded travellers for pleasure in the region, scaling Montenvers with the aid of local guides and giving the name of "Mer de Glace" to the glacier they subsequently examined.Stillingfleet and Windham returned to Geneva 25 June 1741, and returned to England in July 1742.
