Synopsis

Text written by the editors accompany these stunning photographs, but Rowell's more in-depth captions included near the end provide whole new insight to the pictures. Photographs of mountain ascents Fitz Roy (Patagonia, Argentina), Mt. Everest, and Mt. McKinley and those from the Karakoram ski traverse in Pakistan and free-climbing in Yosemite are balanced by many beautiful shots of sunrises and moonrises, mountains ridges, wildflowers, African plains, and the people and wildlife of the many countries Rowell has visited.
