Description
pp. 175, stunning and spectacular color photographs throughout. “After reaching the summit of Mount Everest in 1982, photographer Patrick Morrow decided to stand atop the highest peak of each of the world’s seven continents. Over the next four years, he struggled against the frigid polar winds of Antarctica, slogged through Australasia’s mosquito-infested rainforest, traveled the mediaeval valleys of Soviet Georgia and battled mountains of international red tape to complete a global sweep of the seven summits. A spellbinding story of one man’s quest for adventure and personal fulfillment. A photographer of international stature, Morrow documents his feat with over 100 spectacular photographs and tells a gripping tale of life and death above the clouds.”
