In 1973 Matthiessen made the 250-mile trek to Dolpo, as part of an expedition to study wild blue sheep. It was an arduous, sometimes dangerous, physical endeavour: exertion, blisters, blizzards, endless negotiations with sherpas, quaking cold. But it was also a 'journey of the heart' - among the beauty and indifference of the mountains Matthiessen was searching for solace. He was also searching for a glimpse of a snow leopard, a creature so rarely spotted as to be almost mythical.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description.
