An excellent story and an equally great quality post @kus-knee! I had never heard of his photography before, though I might have seen some of it before...

Thanks a lot for sharing, this is such a classic and powerful piece of our history. If you like adventure, you ought to check the movie/documentary "MERU", it is chilling, brilliantly made and the three human stories in there are astonishing, riveting!

Namaste :)
