国家地理 一次翻越世界屋脊的历史性旅行(4)
Ali's friendly wife, Kushnamamash, baked us hot, gritty naan -- flatbread. We pitched our tents on the couple's narrow grass terrace. Ranks of poplars rustled in a silver breeze. The austere Wakhan was experiencing a green revolution. Tree plantation

国家地理 一次翻越世界屋脊的历史性旅行(6)
Irshad Pass rises 16,335 feet above sea level. We finally reached it at sunset. Paley ventured a feeble victory dance. I gulped air so thin and metallic it cut my lungs like razor blades. Gales had scoured the summit to raw bedrock. Without shelter o
