The renowned geologist James D. Forbes (1809 68) presents an
account of his systematic exploration of alpine mountain regions
and glaciers in this important 1843 publication. Forbes' graphic
descriptions of alpine scenery and his mountaineering feats are
combined with detailed records of his scientific research and
experiments. The study cemented Forbes' reputation in the field,
which was later to be commemorated by the naming of the Aiguille
Forbes in the Alps and of Mount Forbes in both Canada and New
Zealand. The aim in writing the book, says Forbes, was to
'illustrate the physical geography of a particular district in one
of the most frequented regions of the Alps'. In doing this, he
draws upon the important work of the 'bold mountaineer' Horace B n
dict de Saussure, whose feats and achievements Forbes clearly
admired. The book is still viewed today as one of the most
influential and important publications on mountaineering.
