Galen Rowell was the photographer
who recorded much of the Chang Tang expedition (May 27 to June 25,
2002). Unknown to his companions this was to be Galen Rowell's
final assignment —an assignment that took four mountaineers to the
remote calving grounds of the endangered Tibetan antelope. Galen Rowell died in a plane crash in California in August 2002.
His photographs of the out-of-doors is legendary.
