| | Definition: | | Summit
Vittorio Sella brought down the mountains. Weighted with heavy nineteenth-century camera equipment, he climbed some of the world`s most mysterious, perilous peaks and photographed them, many for the first time. Through Sella`s images, the world witnessed the grandeur of the Russian Caucasus, the St. Elias Range in Alaska, Mount Ruwenzori in Africa, and the Kanchenjunga in the Himalaya. Sella`s portfolio of K2 in Pakistan is the definitive photographic study of this summit, considered to be the world`s most difficult and dangerous; climbers still use Sella`s pictures to map out routes to the top. The book will include roughly 125 duotone, vintage photographs -- including two gatefolds of Sella`s most dramatic panoramas. more details ... |
