In this new book from photographer and mountaineer Alastair Lee, panoramic
\nphotos reveal Baffin Island’s astonishing landscapes, and chronicle top
\nBritish climber Leo Houlding’s ambitious expedition to climb the north face of
\nthe incredible Mount Asgard. Deep in the Canadian Arctic, Baffin Island is one
\nof the most spectacular places in the world. For most of the year the fjords
\nare filled with frozen sea ice, but for a short period in the summer the ice
\nmelts and with 24 hours of daylight the area becomes a climber’s paradise,
\nwith mile high granite walls and amazing scenery. From the magic of the Aurora
\nBorealis, 2am sunrises on the massive twin towers to the freezing bivouacs on
\nthe 1000m wall itself, this book covers the epic journey to the mountain, and
\nthe eventual twelve day ascent of the wall itself. The journey is also told
\nthrough individual accounts from each member of the eight-man expedition team. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
