Siachen Expedition 1978

Siachen Expedition 1978

In the summer of 1978, Wolfgang Kohl, Volker Stallbohm and I undertook an expedition to the Siachen Glacier in East Karakoram. At 78 km, it was considered the longest in the non-polar world. It was the third visit from the West, after Fanny and Hunter Workman (1911 and 1912) and the Italian geologist Giotto Daineli (1930). The expedition produced a 45-minute film for German television (Durch die Eiswildnis des Ost-Karakorum). The ceasefire line between India and Pakistan left it unclear until 1984 which of the two states owned the glacier. In the summer of 1984, India started a war with Pakistan to clarify who owned the ice wilderness. India still maintains several thousand troops in the Siachen area. Since our expedition played a role in this terrible story, I decided to write down our expedition story and have it self-published.Edition: 50 copies.

Tibet - Looking back

My last journey to Tibet was in 1993. There was hardly a difference to my first three trips between 1985 and 1987. It was still a difficult journey to reach Tholing and Tsaparang in the former kingdom Guge at the extreme west of Tibet. Nowadays the southern road along the Tsangpo Vally is paved, the telephone lines, we were following for hundreds of kilometers, disappeared. The book is a memory of Tibet as it looked like before the great changes came. Many photographs were not published inm my previous books.I also took from my archive a number of b/w photographs.

Burma-Myanmar

Until recently Burma was one of the most isolated countries on earth. When I started to discover this exciting back in 1985 the foreigners were given only one-week-visa. So I made two one-week-jumps from Bangkok to Rangoon. From 2002 onwards I resumed my Burma project and visited the country twice a year. Though I specialized in panoramic photography since 1976 I also was concerned with ordinary formats as this book shows. The texts were contributed by John Keay, Jana Marková and myself.

Ladakh 1974-2008 - A Photographic Homage

"Ladakh 1974-2008 - A Photographic Homage" is a tribute to Ladakh, the ´Land of Many Passes´ - my most beloved part of the Himalayas. I was among the first Westerners to travel to Ladakh when it was unexpectedly open for foreign visitors in July 1974. Countless journeys and numerous projects followed. Four times I have visited Ladakh in the winter time. This retrospective collections of photographs spans more than three decades - and it is not a purely panoramic book.

Text by John Keay
304 pages, b/w and color photographs.
