Mountains and Life

Himalaya (1x5)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Tem 16, 2017

"Himal-aya" - in Sanskrit "the place of snow" - is the highest mountain range in the world. Here the earth comes closer to the sky than anywhere else. It is the scene of the brave, who compete with the forces of nature: Eight thousand meter peaks, thin air, snow and ice. The Himalayas are a tectonic boundary, a crescent-shaped wall between Tibet and China to the north, and India to the south. No map can illustrate its immense height. Only the world's best climbers are capable of facing this challenge. But climbing its peaks is more than a unique adventure. For the people who were born here, the mountains mean their home, their life. Life can be fruitful just below the snowline, despite the extreme altitude and the constant threat of landslides and avalanches. (Text: Servus TV)
