Svalbard - špice Spitzbergna
Boštjan Mašera (2007)
All three Slovenian expeditions to Spitzbergen (in 2005, 2006, and 2007) had to face logistical difficulties. Violent storms and temperatures in the region of minus 50 degree Celsius are not uncommon in the Polar Circle. The steep walls of the largest island of Svalbard - Spitzbergen - call for a completely different climbing approach from that required in the Alps, the Andes, or other mountain ranges around the world. And don't forget to watch out for polar bears!- 2007

Manaslu - Pot h gori, pot k prijatelju
Boštjan Mašera (2007)
On May 9, 1956, for the first time, the man stepped on the 8163-meter-high Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world. In the fifty years of a long series of tragedies and triumphs in the mountain, two Slovenians were among the featured protagonists. On April 24, 1983, two climbers from Yugoslavia, trying to climb Manaslu from the south face, were buried under an avalanche. One of them was Nejc Zaplotnik, one of the most notable Slovenian climbers.Manaslu - Pot h gori, pot k prijatelju
