Product Description

'AN ABSORBING REAL-LIFE MYSTERY STORY...A GRIPPING YARN FOR ARMCHAIR EXPLORERS EVERYWHERE' FOCUS The mystery of the high mountains and the source of their dreadful attraction, is their legendary danger. White Death is the story of avalanches, told through the tale of one group of mountaineers who climbed high into the northern Rockies of Glacier Park. Mount Cleveland is not the highest mountain in the world but it's one where avalanches fall frequently - up to 10 or 15 times a day - and with the greatest ferocity. Five young men and a lot of snow and ice collided fatally on Mount Cleveland in December 1969: the men vanished, and a huge rescue and recovery operation began.
