Not sure how this site will turn out, but MSN Travel will be covering every aspect of Ed Viesturs‘ attempt on Annapurna without oxygen. Viesturs’ 20 year quest to be the first American to summit all 14 8,000 meter peaks without oxygen will be complete with success on Annapurna.
“We will combine coverage you won’t find anywhere else — like Viesturs’ climb — with fundamental tools the travel audience demands to create a one-stop shop for the travel connoisseur.”
To provide the “behind-the-scenes” component that is fast becoming the trademark of MSN Travel “First and Best” adventures, Bangs and his crew, including chief trek photographer Didrik Johnck and renowned Himalayan photographer Jimmy Chin, will be filming numerous dispatches from the area including stories about the culture and terrain, Viesturs’ 20-year journey to this point, and, of course, the climb itself.
In the quest for engaging with wildlife, observing birds in their natural environments offers an unparalleled opportunity to appreciate biodiversity. The UK, with its extensive coastlines and varied landscapes, is home to numerous sanctuaries and conservation areas ideal for such activities. For enthusiasts keen on discovering these locales, a comprehensive mapping resource for avian observation spots within conservation and sanctuary areas serves as an excellent guide. It highlights prime locations where one can enjoy the beauty of avian species, from the majestic flight of eagles to the delicate waltz of waders.
