註釋"Probably the most awesome peaks in the world--certainly the highest--are those of the Himalaya; even the name, from the Sanskrit words for 'abode of the snows,' speaks of their remoteness. Crowning the Himalaya (and the linked Karakoram range) are fourteen peaks above 8000 metres in height: the Sivalaya, or 'abode of the gods.' In this book, Louis Baume presents the only comprehensive chronology of journeys, expeditions and ascents involving these highest peaks, and an extensive bibliography of books relating to them."--Book cover.
