Soft Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: n/a. Third, revised, edition. 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. Kailas, "The Th…rone of The Gods". Apart form their geological studies, altitudes were measured by using barometric observations.

Original bright green cloth with gilt lettering on spine, in original photo-illustrated dustjacket, white lettering o…n spine. Translated by Eden and Cedar Paul. "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. The purpose of the expedition was mainly geological and was concerned chiefly with the Central Himalayas; during their eight months' journey the travelers crossed the frontiers of both Tibet and Nepal. 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." (Publisher). Magnificently illustrated scientific work, containing an account of the first Swiss expedition to the Kumaon Himalayas. Contain two hundred and twenty plates in photogravure, eighteen in-text sketches, eleven musical items, two panoramas and one relief map. Dustjacket with wear mainly along top edge, medium chips around spine. Binding with minor wear. Dustjacket in overall good-, binding in very good, interior in near fine condition.
