Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Argentine Plains and Andine Glaciers: Life on an Estancia, and an Expedition Into the Andes For a book, written for an English public about a foreign country or colony, to be satisfactory, it must, I think, have one of three different origins. The author may have spent his life, or a great part of it, in the country of which he is writing, and at the same time have kept in touch with England and English life; this last condition being essential if he is to make his description vivid, or even intelligible, to his English readers. I should say that we have in our literature such pictures of, e.g., Australian life. But the case of a foreign country is different; and, in the case of Argentina in particular, this first sort of book may never be written. For it seems to me that the Pampas absorb men; old Anglo-Argentines lose touch with England, and feel no call to become interpreters. When in England they feel cramped, and only long to be back again in the free life of the "camp"; writing has no attractions for them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Atlas illustrates the significant reduction in glacier mass happening throughout the Andean region.

A reduction in glacier mass results in a long-term reduction in seasonal melt water - which is the mainstay of livelihoods for millions of people.

Download or read book Enduring Patagonia written by Gregory Crouch and published by Random House Digital, Inc.. This book was released on 2001 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patagonia is a strange and terrifying place, a vast tract of land shared by Argentina and Chile where the violent weather spawned over the southern Pacific charges through the Andes with gale-force winds, roaring clouds, and stinging snow. Squarely athwart the latitudes known to sailors as the roaring forties and furious fifties, Patagonia is a land trapped between angry torrents of sea and sky, a place that has fascinated explorers and writers for centuries. Magellan discovered the strait that bears his name during the first circumnavigation. Charles Darwin traveled Patagonia's windy steppes and explored the fjords of Tierra del Fuego during the voyage of the Beagle. From the novel perspective of the cockpit, Antoine de Saint-Exupry immortalized the Andes in Wind, Sand, and Stars, and a half century later, Bruce Chatwin's In Patagonia earned a permanent place among the great works of travel literature. Yet even today, the Patagonian Andes remain mysterious and remote, a place where horrible storms and ruthless landscapes discourage all but the most devoted pilgrims from paying tribute to the daunting and dangerous peaks. Gregory Crouch is one such pilgrim. In seven expeditions to this windswept edge of the Southern Hemisphere, he has braved weather, gravity, fear, and doubt to try himself in the alpine crucible of Patagonia. Crouch has had several notable successes, including the first winter ascent of the legendary Cerro Torre's West Face, to go along with his many spectacular failures. In language both stirring and lyrical, he evokes the perils of every handhold, perils that illustrate the crucial balance between physical danger and mental agility that allows for the most important part of any climb, which is not reaching the summit, but getting down alive. Crouch reveals the flip side of cutting-edge alpinism: the stunning variety of menial labor one must often perform to afford the next expedition. From building sewer systems during a bitter Colorado winter to washing the plastic balls in McDonalds' playgrounds, Crouch's dedication to the alpine craft has seen him through as many low moments as high summits. He recounts, too, the riotous celebrations of successful climbs, the numbing boredom of forced encampments, and the quiet pride that comes from knowing that one has performed well and bravely, even in failure. Included are more than two dozen color photographs that capture the many moods of this land, from the sublime beauty of the mountains at sunrise to the unrelenting fury of its storms. Enduring Patagonia is a breathtaking odyssey through one of the worldis last wild places, a land that requires great sacrifice but offers great rewards to those who dare to challenge it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Patagonia, Los Glaciares National Park, Perito Moreno Glacier, El Calafate" is my 6th travel guide in the "wilderness explorer" series (first was about "Peninsula Valdes" Natural Reserve, second - "Torres del Paine" National Park, third - "Tierra del Fuego" National Park, fourth - Iceland, fifth - "Landmannalaugar", Iceland), which I decided to write after I made 1x expedition to Patagonia (Argentina and Chile) and 4x expeditions to Iceland in 2015 - 2018 years. The book contains 60 GPS coordinates of important to know places, 60 website links, covering all the important campsites, hostels, hotels, viewpoints, 20 hiking trails, key sightseeing, it has 2 detailed maps, and 20 photographs I made in March-April 2017. The travel guide first describes how to get in/out the "Los Glaciares" National Park and El Calafate, all park's updated rules and prices, then I in very detail describe 20 different hikes in the park and around, including: official "Perito Moreno" Glacier hikes; ice walking hikes; Lago Roca and Cerro Cristal hikes; Estancias "La Usina", "Nibepo Aike", "Hosteria Alta Vista"and "Rio Mitre" hikes; very remote Estancia "Cristina" hikes to the 170 million years old "Fossil Canyon" and the "Upsala" Glacier view points; "Reserva Laguna Nimez" hikes - a famous bird reserve (>80 birds); "Walichu" Caves hike, where you can see ancient paleolithic ( 4,000 years) paintings in sandstone rock survived till modern time. I also give all the details for wild and paid camping, hostels, food stores, roads conditions, travel scenarios, public buses, flights, prices for touristic services, paid boat tours to see glaciers, kayaking, horseback riding, countryside Patagonian lunch/dinner with grilled for 6 hours Cordero (lamb) or Asado (beef), fishing, farming recreational activities, ice walking, paleontological and archeological sites, famous "Glaciarium Patagonian Ice" Museum, city shopping, dining, commuting... etc. The book can be equally useful for "budget" adventure seekers, solo/group travelers, "fast & easy" with a rented car/campers or travel agency users as well as for paid wildlife and travel/landscape photographers on a mission.
