Australia, 1999, 1st edition. 10 inches x 13 inches, 96 pages, 44 colour photos, 20 black & white duotones, 30 small black & whites, 25,000 word text, 3 maps and bibliography. One of the finest mountaineering oriented Patagonia books ever. The author recounts expeditions to Fitzroy, as well as a crossing of the Patagonian Ice Cap. Incredibly clear and superb photographs.
Patagonia is justifiably admirable for its vast beautiful emptinesses. These photographs capture the sense of wonderful wilderness that still pervades so much of this unique, spectacular part of the world. Not to be tamed or truly settled by humanity, Patagonia is awe-inspiring. Seeing it through the eyes of this book is the next best thing to being there.
