Description: This book recounts the author’s mountaineering expedition to the Karakoram mountains. The author believed that he was on a scientific expedition that used proper equipment. The result of this was the map produced here which the author hoped would help in understanding the physical features of the Karakoram. The rest of the book gives an account of the expedition itself. During the time of the expedition, he jotted down full notes every hour as he travelled and these notes were then compiled at the end of a day in a journal. These journals comprise the main text of this book.
