Unforgettable stories and images from America's
preeminent adventure photographer on his most challenging,
exhilarating expeditions. Renowned as one of the world's foremost expedition
photographers, Gordon Wiltsie has climbed Himalayan
mountains, mushed dogs on the frozen Arctic Ocean, skied in
Antarctica, and hacked through the Amazon jungle to
photograph the most remote reaches of the planet. For the
last three decades he has accompanied many of the great
modern explorers—Alex Lowe, Conrad Anker, Will Steger, Jon
Krakauer, David Breashears, Norman Vaughan—on incredibly
challenging climbs and epic adventures. Despite carrying his
own share of the weight—along with cameras, film, and
lenses—he has matched these companions pitch for pitch and
mile for mile, photographing them every inch of the way. In this journey through ten unique expeditions, Wiltsie
illustrates the daily life of an explorer—from the thrill of
summiting a virgin peak to the fear of surviving a storm, to
the humorous and unexpected everyday moments of life on the
edge. 175 color illustrations, 9 maps.
