Paperback. Condition: New. no dj. Originally published in German in 1938 and in English in 1939, this account was written by two geologists whose eight months journey in the Himalayas took them through the then "forbidden" lands of Nepal and Tibet, culminating at Mt.

"Dr. Heim, the leading geologist of Switzerland, was in command of a Swiss expedition to parts of the Himalayas that were to all intents unknown.

Traveling with no elaborate retinue, the expedition contrived to bring back a number of valuable results. The authors here recount their experiences and discoveries, with their observations of the lives of men, animals, and plants, not only among the crags and glaciers of the high mountains, but also on the way thither."
