About This Book

Der Band versammelt Reise- und Bergsteigerberichte aus den Hochanden Ecuadors und Kolumbiens, in denen der Autor die Anmarschwege, Routen und mehrere Erst- und Wiederbesteigungen großer Vulkane wie Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Antisana und Cerro Altar beschreibt. Ergänzt werden die Erzählungen durch kartografische Hinweise, technische Beobachtungen zu Gletscherverhältnissen, klimatischen Eindrücken und praxisorientierte Hinweise zu Ausrüstung, Organisation und Schwierigkeiten tropischer Hochtouren. Wissenschaftliche Reflexionen über Eiszeitfragen und vergleichende geographische Betrachtungen verbinden persönliche Erfahrung mit geowissenschaftlicher Analyse.
