		<description><![CDATA[Pakistan&#8217;s Karakoram mountains form the greatest consolidation of high peaks on the planet. In a central one-hundred-mile radius there are sixty peaks above 23,000 feet. Fosco Mariani, the great Italian climber, described the fluted peaks, granite walls, and areas of massive tectonic upheaval as &#8220;the world&#8217;s greatest museum of shape and form.&#8221; K2 (28,250 feet/8,611 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1993, a soft-spoken trauma nurse from San Francisco found himself on the flanks of K2 for the 78th day, plodding feverishly toward the summit despite near-crippling hypoxia and fatigue. He hoped to dedicate his ascent to his sister, Christa, who had died from epilepsy a year earlier. And he was eager to add another [...]]]></description>

Or it might be a ramshackle shantytown on the outskirts of Nairobi, are a dusty camp for Tibetan refugees near Kathmandu.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a part of the world where Americans are often mistrusted, even hated &#8212; but not Greg Mortenson, a 41-year-old resident of Montana whose life&#8217;s work is to build schools in remote villages of Pakistan&#8217;s mountain valleys. Mortenson traces his passion for improving the education of the Balti people to his 1993 expedition to climb [...]]]></description>
