To the Ends of the Earth: Adventures of an Expedition Photographer
Wiltsie has photographed more than 100 expeditions to some of the wildest places on Earth, and his prints have been exhibited in shows in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Here he chronicles his travels to Nepal, Antarctica, Patagonia, Chile, Canada, Peru, Mongolia, and across the Arctic Ocean via the North Pole. There are stunning color photographs on every page: glaciers, icefalls, vast expanses of snow, mountains, lost tombs of the Incas, dogsleds, base camps, Tibetan Buddhist monks at prayer, Hindu pilgrims crossing a 15,000-foot-high peak, plummeting rocks, and saxifrage flowers after a spring thaw, to name just a few. Wiltsie writes from a photographer's perspective, offering readers a firsthand account of 30 years of breathtaking adventure.George CohenCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
