Аннотация
La ruta del sastrugi relata el último gran evento de la exploración antártica del siglo XX realizado por argentinos. Nuestro país posee más de un siglo de historia en el sexto continente; descubrimientos, instalaciones, investigación, instituciones, actos cívicos y un sinfín de acontecimientos que nos dejaron un rico legado y que conforman un valioso capítulo que describe el esforzado trabajo de nuestros compatriotas en esa inhóspita región. Se trata de hechos y protagonistas casi desconocidos por la sociedad, pero que sin embargo forman parte indisoluble de las pretensiones y reclamos soberanos de la nación en el extremo sur de la patria.
En este contexto, la segunda expedición terrestre al Polo Sur geográfico constituye el último acto de presencia oficial en el punto más austral de nuestro territorio antártico a 35 años de la primera expedición de este tipo llevada a cabo por nuestro país, pero en esta oportunidad con un desafío diferente a lo experimentado hasta el momento ya que inicialmente se trataría de un viaje de ida y vuelta en un recorrido superior a los 3000 kilómetros utilizando motos de nieve, pero con la salvedad de no contar con apoyo aéreo para el reconocimiento del terreno ni para la instalación de los depósitos de suministro, con lo cual se debió trasladar toda la carga con los mismos vehículos desde el inicio hasta alcanzar el Polo Sur y el regreso también; conformando a lo largo del trayecto los depósitos de provisiones y el combustible necesarios. Esto significó cargar, transportar y descargar a mano 13 toneladas de pertrechos —de los cuales 10 toneladas eran solamente de combustible— en interminables y extenuantes viajes vaivén, que sumados a la distancia en línea recta para alcanzar el objetivo completaron un recorrido de más de 5000 kilómetros de marcha.
Desde el punto de vista humano fue la epopeya de siete hombres luchando por la supervivencia en un medio extremadamente hostil, convencidos de la necesidad de una continuación en el rumbo de la nación sobre este territorio.

В Дели Ворота Индии и Президентский Дворец осмотрены, храм Лотоса и минарет Кутуба по достоинству оценены. Вот только одна печаль: с детства мечтал увидеть и обнять железный столб в комплексе минарета Кутуба (мне еще в детстве бабушка о нем рассказывала). Не удалось. То есть увидеть, конечно, удалось, а вот обнять…

В этой книги собраны мои любимые "сюжеты". Бывает так, что увлечение с годами перерастает в сборник разных мыслей из жизни, оставленные на листе бумаги. Все творческие люди ищут "родственные души", иногда всю жизнь. Надеюсь, что такие люди и будут моими читателями.

This guidebook – which includes both a guide to the route and a separate OS map booklet – describes the Ridgeway National Trail, an 87 mile (139km) route through southern England from Avebury in Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire. Typically walked in 6 or 8 days, this is a low-level waymarked route suitable for all abilities and for year round walking.
The guidebook details the trail in both directions, west to east and east to west (the main description is west to east). Step-by-step route descriptions are accompanied by 1:100,000 OS mapping and a separate OS 1:25,000 map booklet showing the entire route is included. Packed with details on points of interest and a trek planner giving at-a-glance information about facilities, public transport and accommodation available along the way, this book is an indispensable guide to walking this national trail.
Following a ridge of chalk hills through the Chiltern Hills AONB and North Wessex Downs AONB, the Ridgeway takes walkers through five counties and five thousand years of history. It offers a scenic and fascinating journey through our ancient and more recent past, visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Avebury's Neolithic stone circle and the famous Uffington White Horse, and includes excursions to picturesque villages, thatched cottages and cosy pubs.

This guidebook describes 30 low level and easy walks that are suitable for all abilities. The hikes covered are in the northern part of Snowdonia National Park, close to Conwy, Betws-y-Coed, Llanberis and Porthmadog. Most of the walks take around 2hr, with others ranging from 2 to 6hr. Each walk has an accompanying Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 map showing the route, easy-to-follow route descriptions and information on distance, time, ascent, refreshments and where to park. The guide also includes more general advice on walking in the area, historical information, and facts about the points of interest seen on each walk. In this part of Wales, neolithic settlements and Roman ruins stand beside the medieval castles of Welsh Princesses and the modern remnants of the mining industry. Myths and legends abound, and many walks relate to the stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Anfanc and Welsh fairies.

In this book of travels Mr. Howells relates the incidents and impressions of his trip through Spain. In a leisurely, discursive fashion he notes what most appealed to him as he journeyed from San Sebastian through Burgos, Madrid, Toledo, Cordova, Seville to Granada, Ronda, Algecirus, and Tarifa. Like a glorified cinemacolor film, he passes in review Spanish scenery, the architecture of cathedrals and palaces; theatres and hotels; picturesque street-scenes, Moorish remains; the King and Queen; beggars and guides; gypsies and donkeys. And back of all this living present, adding richness to the scene like a figured tapestry, is the romantic history of Spain's past.

This guidebook explores six of Andalucía's most beautiful Natural Parks – the Sierra Nevada regions of Aracena, Grazalema, Los Alcornocales and Gaucín, La Axarquía, the Alpujarras and Cazorla – along the great belt of the Cordillera Bética mountains. The 36 half- and full-day walks are mostly circular, ranging in length from 4 to 21km: some involve steep ascents and descents but all are within the capabilities of a reasonably fit walker.
The routes are based around the villages of Aracena, Grazalema, Jimena de la Frontera, Cazorla, Bubión and Cómpeta, all of which lie within protected nature reserves. Year-round walking is possible, but the area is best enjoyed March-June and September-October. Includes detailed route descriptions, clear mapping, plenty of background information about travel, food and drink, language and communications and the author's recommendations for the best places to stay in or around southern Spain's most beautiful mountain villages, many of which date back to the Moorish period.
Rising to almost 3500m, the Cordillera Bética offers some of the finest year-round walking in Europe, and wrapped within this mighty range are some of Spain's most beautiful villages and trails.
