More Explorations Round Nanda Devi by Eric Shipton
The area around the Indian mountain Nanda Devi is wild and isolated. This is a fascinating insight to the men who explored this region long before GPS and satellite photography, the men who climbed mountains with maps and theodolites in hand. Eric Shipton was one of a band of famous climbers and here presented is the lecture he gave on his return. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.ERIC SHIPTON, the explorer's explorer, is widely regarded as one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. His uncharted mountain excursions and climbs paved the way for the first ascents of Everest and other Himalayan peaks, and as a world traveler, he was chosen for Britain's diplomatic core during World War II. Erik Shipton's mountain escapades are practically unrivaled. He traveled through Central Asia, Africa, and South America, making a number of notable first ascents and laying the groundwork for others' first ascents.
