Fiordland Mountain Journeys - Grant Dixon & Ian Brown

Fiordland is New Zealand's largest wilderness - a vast maze of mountains, sheer-sided valleys, dense forest, and dauntingly high rainfall. Consequently, it presents some of the most challenging tramping and trans-alpine terrain in this country.

These challenges did not deter Grant Dixon and Ian Brown, two hardened adventurers who. over decades, traversed the length of Fiordland, almost always off-track and on the tops, braving the steepest routes and ferocious storms while climbing numerous mountains along the way.

Fortunately, both Dixon and Brown are outstanding photographers, and Fiordland: Mountain Journeys is a stunning portrait of wild Fiordland, country most people never experience from the ground. With essays describing the highlights of their journeys, the book provides a unique perspective on what makes our largest national park so outstanding in a country already brimming with extraordinary backcountry.
