About The Book: “Two Summers in the Ice‑Wilds of Eastern Karakoram” (1917) by Fanny Bullock Workman and William Hunter Workman recounts their 1911–12 Karakoram expedition. Over two summers, they explored and mapped 1,900 sq mi of rugged terrain—especially the vast Siachen and Baltoro glaciers—never descending below 15,000 ft and reaching plateaus of 21,000+ ft. Fanny, the expedition leader, documented logistical hurdles, glacier science, and local customs with precision. Highlighted achievements include triangulation of Siachen by Survey of India members Peterkin and Singh, discovering and naming the Indira Col, and capturing the iconic “Votes for Women” moment atop a 21,000 ft plateau. This richly illustrated, scientific, and adventurous narrative remains a milestone in Himalayan exploration.
