Tag: Mountains

In the 17th century, people despised nature, especially mountains. Sometimes they called them "earth ulcers" or "useless obstacles". Merciless gods live here, spewing lava or sending down avalanches.

Highlights:
Kora around Mount Kailash
At the foot of Mount Everest
Half Dome in Yosemite National Park
Climbing Mount Kenya
