Illustrating the pillars of the seven continents and the diversity of the planet's ecosystems, this book is a collection of satellite images of peaks and mountain ranges--including the Matterhorn, the Andean and Himalayan ranges, and the Hawaiian islands--each of which is a part of a scientific investigation. The satellite images are supplemented by old photographs taken by astronauts from space, and each image is described in detail. Nine texts of a scientific nature explain the geographic, geological, climactic, ecological, and historical importance of these mountains, and firsthand accounts from world-class mountain climbers provide a human perspective of these fascinating and imposing geological wonders. Ilustrando los pilares de los siete continentes y la variedad de ecosistemas del planeta, este libro es una colección de imágenes de satélite de picos y cordilleras--incluyendo el Monte Cervino, las cordilleras andinas y del Himalaya y las islas hawaianas--que forman parte de proyectos de investigación científica. Las imágenes por satélite se completan con fotografías antiguas captadas por los astronautas desde el espacio, y cada imagen se describe detalladamente.
