equatorjournal: Wilfred Patrick Thesiger, Salim bin Kabina in the Empty Quarter of southern Arabia, 1948. “…the sands were like a petrefied ocean of great waves.” From tbe book “Quest for adventure” by Chris Bonington, 1983. “Wilfred Thesiger (1910-2003) was probably the greatest traveller of the twentieth century, and one of its greatest explorers. His travel writings and autobiography A Life of My Choice (1987) have been hailed as classics of travel literature, and his other publications, such as Desert, Marsh and Mountain (1979), introduced many more people to his remarkable archive of photography spanning over fifty years of travel.”https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQVdhnAgFs/?igshid=m1s40q6rxl9m -- source link
