A photographic tribute to fragile, unspoilt nature, from the Alps to Norway's fjords and from Etna to the volcanoes of the Azores, via Iceland, Santorini and the Caucasus.
The names alone evoke a journey: the Matterhorn, Elbrus, Mont Aiguille, the Brocken, Eyjafjallajökull, Etna, Olympus, Mont Blanc, Gavarnie, the Marmolada, Spitsbergen, Ben Nevis, the Picos de Europa, the Tatras, the Eiger and the Puy de Sancy.
Exceptional photographs by Stefan Hefele and Daniel Kordan reveal the majesty and extraordinary variety of Europe's mountains: ice-clad northern peaks, Atlantic and Mediterranean volcanic cones, eroded limestone ranges in the south and the little-known high summits of the Caucasus.
This book invites you not only to admire these landscapes, but also to learn how to read them.
