Descrizione

About The Book - Book photographs of the great mountain photographer Vittorio Sella (1859-1943), is considered by many to be one of the best of the classic books on mountaineering. At the time the trip was taken, although the team had the authorization of the ruler of Sikkim, they had none by Nepal as it was then a closed kingdom. The expedition lasted seved weeks, and when they descended into Nepal, he first villagers they met. were astonished to learn that this tattered group had come down from the north. On an expedition to the central Caucasus Mountains (1868), Freshfield made the first ascent of Mt. Elbrus (18,510 feet [5,642 metres]), the highest peak in the range and in Russia west of the Ural Mountains. In 1899 he led an expedition that circumnavigated the Himalayan mountain Kanchenjunga (28,169 feet [8,586 metres]), and in 1905 he made a failed attempt to climb the Ruwenzori Range in Central Africa.
