Mit Gravelbike und Bahn in 9 Tagen nach Afrika und zurück
Eine Radreise ist immer eine gute Idee, oder etwa nicht? Diese Art zu reisen ist nachhaltig und voll von Abenteuern. Ferne Ziele sind auf dem Rad jedoch meist nicht drin – es sei denn, man hat viel Zeit oder entflieht der Heimat zunächst per Auto oder Flugzeug.

Rennradfahren oder Skifahren? Daniel Eiermann kombiniert gerne beides!
So jetzt ist es wieder soweit: Die Skisaison steht vor der Tür. Da ich sicher nicht der Einzige bin, der sobald es kälter, nässer und dunkler wird, direkt an Powder, Sonne und einsame Berge denkt, hier mein kleiner (Foto) – Bericht über meine letzte Skitour der vergangenen Saison.

The Story
The picture was taken on the summit of Marmolada after an ascent of the Vinatzer/Messner on the south wall. We didn’t reach the summit until 10:00 p.m. so we bivouacke (planned) there. We woke up to this riot of color …
The Photographer
Ralf Gantzhorn was born in 1964, holds a M.S. in Geology – and has even worked as a geologist (as an independent consultant in the contamination sector). He has been climbing since 1983 and working as a photographer since 1985. As a northern German, he is always torn between the far too distant mountains and the fresh sea air, but he’s found a compromise in Scandinavia, Scotland and Patagonia (where he has now spent over three years). He enjoys organizing trips in areas where unfamiliar vistas – which haven’t already been photographed 1000 times – lure from every corner. He often experiences his images as far too static, but then is pleased with the abundance of triangles in the structure and the fantastic light.

The Story
OK, it’s the most famous glacier in the world. You can’t expect solitude here; every fifteen minutes a busload of tourists is released in the direction of the viewing platforms. And yet the sight of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia with its 4-km wide and 60 m high escarpment has something touching, something incomprehensible about it. It is a natural spectacle that takes your breath away and that instinctively describes the relationship between man and nature. Humility and tranquil joy of existence seizes every viewer.
