Note This volume contains an account of the first Swiss expedition to the Kumaon Himalayas led by Heim and Gansser. Though the object of the expedition was chiefly geological, the two men still managed to climb several high summits on the Nepal-Tibet border. The original German edition was published in 1938. A "superbly illustrated" scientific work. |
