This book was written to describe two journeys made in 1934 to the remoter and more impervious parts of the Karakoram Range. The Karakoram is the most glaciered place on our planet and possesses the second highest peak on earth: K2. Reginald Schomberg was a British officer and explorer who had served in Asia. At the time of the writing, he commented that the Karakoram had been only superficially explored. He travels from Kashmir to Hunza, over the Karun Pir and returns down the Mustagh River and through Raskam. Even today, this part of our globe is inaccessible, and it makes for stimulating reading to witness this area through Schomberg's eyes, before the existence of Pakistan and the boundaries and borders that we are familiar with today.
