Today in Fresh Air History

Photographer Galen Rowell.

Photographer and adventurer Galen Rowell. Rowell has been called a cross between Sir Edmund Hillary and Ansel Adams. He's made a career out of traveling to the world's wild places and capturing them on film. An accomplished skier and mountaineer, Rowell has made more than 20 trips to the Himalayas and hundreds of climbs throughout the world. Rowell's photos have appeared in major exhibitions and in publications such as "National Geographic," "Sports Illustrated," and "Outside." He also has several books of photos...the two latest are called "The Art Of Adventure," (Collins publishing) and "The Yosemite." (Sierra Club Books, text by John Muir).
