Mountains & Man takes us on a journey to some of the most breathtaking and remote corners of the earth. At its bedrock are the great themes of the mountain – their immense geography, geology and ferocious climate. But at its heart are the human stories of drama and tragedy. From tranquillity to forbidding fear, from eerie stillness to great energy, and from love to hatred in the eyes of man. This series explores some of the greatest stories ever told about man’s encounter with the mountain.
