Our Changing Mountains with The American Alpine Club

For several years, a group of scientist climbers traveled to the high mountains of Peru for an environmentally-based, humanitarian expedition. The American Alpine Club were concerned about the growing urbanization and industrialization stressing the environment of western Peru. Coupled with recent glacial recession, the AAC understood the urgent need to collect data on water and air resources - important to a sustainable future for the people of Peru.
