Beautiful coffee table book but in no way technical.
I returned this book because it does not actually have the information one might need for high latitudes eg an actual explanation of ice egg diagrams, bowgrace, equipment lists etc. It is however a very beautiful book which has some fabulous photography in some wild and exceedingly remote places.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
