Synopsis:

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.
