8vo. pp. xxiv, [2], 456. with half-title. 4 maps & plans (3 folding). 20 wood-engraved plates & 118 wood-engraved text illus. by Edward Whymper after F.Barnard, A.Corbauld, F.Dadd & others. Stonyhurst gilt-stamped prize binding of contemporary calf, gilt back (extremities rubbed, joints cracked). Second Edition. After many years climbing in the Alps, Whymper decided to organize an expedition to the Andes of Ecuador. His primary purpose was to study altitude sickness and the effect of reduced pressure on the human body. During 1880, he made two ascents of Chimborazo (20,498 feet), also claiming the first ascent, and made first ascents of half a dozen other great peaks ranging in height from 15,000 to 20,000 feet. He spent a night on the summit of Cotopaxi (19,613 feet), and was able to thoroughly study the features of the great volcano. Whymper s great contributions to science and exploration were recognized by the Royal Geographical Society, which in 1892 conferred on Whymper one of their Royal Medals "in recognition of the fact that, apart from his mountaineering exploits, he had largely corrected and added to our geographical and physical knowledge of the mountain systems of Ecuador, fixed the position of all the great Ecuadorian mountains, produced a map constructed from original theodolite observations extending over 250 miles, and ascertained seventy altitudes by means of three mercurial barometers." (DNB) Whymper also brought back important collections of rock specimens, volcanic dusts, and natural history specimens. He devised a popular form of tent which bears his name, and was able to suggest improvements in aneroid barometers. As usual this copy is without the separately published supplementary volume of scientific observations. Neate 899.
