Description
"A breathtaking collection from the International Mountain Summit's annual photography contest 2011 to 2016. More than 220 stunning images display mountains around the world in their many manifestations from the violentspectacle of a volcanic eruption to a flower-painted valley. The photographs are organized into the contest's four categories: Mountain Nature, Mountain Action, Mountain Faces, and Mountain Aerial. 2016 allowed the use of drones for the first time. There are mountains in the book from every continent - Half Dome, Yosemite; K2, second only to Everest; Kanchenjunga, Nepal-India; Kirkjufell, Iceland; Mitre Peak, New Zealand; Koryaksky, Russia; Sassolungo, Italy; the very active volcano, Mount Slamet, Indonesia; Tepuy Roraima, Venezuela - and many more.
