In breathtaking images and panoramic mountain maps; Himalaya marks the 60th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's landmark ascent of Everest; as well as the 50th anniversary of the first successful American expedition. It examines the region's geographical origins; peoples; and discovery by the West; along with heroic pioneering ascents—including K2; Nanga Parbat; Annapurna; Kangchenjunga; and Lhotse—and new frontiers; routes; and mountaineering techniques.
