Inhaltsangabe:

MountainsIn addition to highly accurate detailed models of individual regions, the DLR generates a global three-dimensional elevation model of Earth in unprecedented quality. For this purpose, two German satellites are currently circling the earth at a speed of more than 15,000 miles per hour—separated by a mere 500 feet. Taken together, both techniques offer a detailed view of a world that still pushes human beings to their limits—the mountainous regions of our planet. For this book Reinhold Messner has selected thirteen peaks and routes to feature, as they’ve never been seen before.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren: Stefan Dech is director of the German Remote Sensing Data Centre at DLR’s Earth Observation Centre.

Reinhold Messner is a legendary mountaineer.

Nils Sparwasser heads the ‘Science Communication and Visualization’ division at the German Remote Sensing Data Centre at DLR’s Earth Observation Centre.
