Features ed. desnivel geología desde el campo base

The Himalayas and the Karakorum are the most impressive mountain ranges on our planet, but also the most recent, the most active, those that have risen the fastest and those with the highest peaks. In them are located the 14 mountains that exceed the mythical figure of eight thousand meters of altitude and a hundred of more than seven thousand.

These mountains are an incredible challenge for mountaineers, but also in their rocks and landscapes are the keys to understanding how they were formed. In this book, both aspects are combined through images taken by the geologist and mountaineer Sito Carcavilla during thirteen expeditions. The keys to the formation of these mountain ranges and the aspects related to their climbing are explained in a brief and simple way.

A book for mountaineers, naturalists and anyone who is fascinated by these impressive mountains and wants to know them better.
