A journey with a donkey to the end of the world and back - article from Afghanistan

The Earth was moving too fast. Even in the middle of the night the air was full of dust. A dancing quicksilver in a dusty bowl. A specter of a valley somewhere in the Pamirs.
The Earth was moving too fast, and yet, not fast enough. It would be four hours more before scorching rivers of fire puncture through the gaps in the rocky ridge and force the shadows to go away. Cast the night out. It would be four hours more before it was safe.
I was in Afghanistan.

The far eastern part of the Wakhan Corridor has never seen many foreign visitors. During the Afghan climbing boom of the 1960s and 70s it was too remote and access too difficult to draw major attention, with high virgin peaks available two hours’ drive from Ishkashim.

In July and August our 14-member Polish expedition climbed eight new peaks from what we believe to be a previously unexplored valley in the Koh-e-Ak Su mountains of the Little Pamir, immediately east of the lower Wakhjir Valley. Half the expedition members travelled overland from Poland, a distance of ca 5,000km to the roadhead at Sarhad-e-Boroghil in the Wakhan Corridor. From here we trekked east for five days, and on July 21 established base camp at ca 4,400m at the foot of the glacier (later named the Polish Glacier) in the Uchjilga Valley, close to the entrance of which lies a Kyrghiz summer settlement of the same name.
