About The book: The Ice World of Himalaya by Fanny Bullock Workman and William Hunter Workman chronicles their adventurous expeditions in the Western Himalaya and Karakoram during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Workman’s explored largely uncharted glaciers, valleys, and peaks, documenting the geography, climate, and local cultures they encountered. They recount challenging climbs, extreme altitudes, and encounters with the region’s labor force, highlighting both triumphs and struggles. The book combines vivid travel narrative with scientific observation, reflecting Fanny’s pioneering role as a female mountaineer. It also emphasizes their determination, resilience, and commitment to exploration in an era when high-altitude mountaineering was predominantly male-dominated.
