On Top of the World

On Top of the World: The Andes: Living Wild in South America from Paula Webster on Vimeo.

After Tibet, the Andes in South America have most extensive high altitude plateaus in the World.

Paula and I have travelled these areas extensively in the last year.  We have found them unforgiving, where the oxygen is depleted so much that everything has to be done slowly and at night the temperature drops to well below  zero.

Such inconveniences are offset by the joy of experiencing the champagne like clarity of the air and the special wildlife to be found.
