Bergtagen

Více o knize

The mountains stir our imagination, the world's high places call to us and challenge us to adventures. We want to get to know the terrain with all our senses: explore, trek, conquer peaks, climb precipices, get under the skin of the landscape and find peace. The photographer Claes Grundsten takes us with him to six continents and around 40 of the world's most spectacular and beautiful landscapes. We encounter the breathtaking variation of mountains, whether highest or lowest, snow-laden or desert-like peaks, from the South and North Islands of New Zealand to the Lapland fells. Grundsten tells us about the geology of mountains, about climbing, the diversity of mountain cultures and the aesthetics of mountain photography. With its magnificent scenery, this book is an inspiration for all who yearn to experience the most remarkable mountain landscapes on our planet.
