Description

ABOUT: The Zaalayskiy Khrebet is a mountain range that forms the natural border between China, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. In 1999, the region was first opened up to non-Kyrgyz Nationals and I was part of the first expedition permitted to record this remote corner of the former Soviet Union. Our team was made up of some highly-experienced climbers, a writer, a doctor, a cartographer, and an anthropologist.

Exploration in its purest form is rarely felt, but we experienced it high on a ridge in the Zaalayskiy Khrebet Range. The mountain had no name. There was no map. All we knew was that to the right of us was China, to the left was Kyrgyzstan, and that the footprints we were making were the first in history. Something profound was sprinting through our veins as we made our way to the summit; encountering the unknown so far from home and without a safety net is, to me, the essence of pure adventure

CAUSE: 50% of the profit from this picture will go towards The Last Ice Sentinel. The Last Ice Sentinel is a legacy project to locate and photograph the last fragments of the rarest ice on earth.

DETAILS: Each image is A3 and will be printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art Pearl paper, 285 gsm, which offers a delicately textured surface and fantastic print quality. It will be shipped from the UK.
