About

Auto-translated from German

Vera Markus, granddaughter of geologist Augusto Gansser, and Martin Müller present photographs from his archive and recount his adventures. Gansser undertook numerous expeditions to remote regions—disguised as a monk around Mount Kailash, on expeditions to Greenland, through the Himalayas, and to countries including Colombia, Trinidad, Iran and Bhutan—before becoming a professor at ETH. The lecture is held in German.
