AUTOBIOGRAPHY
I survived myself
I opened my eyes and for a while saw nothing but darkness. I moved my head, and a beam of daylight hit my eyes. I looked down; I was barefoot, and in a narrow, freezing cold, glacial crevasse. I tried to comprehend what had happened. I struggled, and then started clawing my way towards the bright light of daylight glimmering above. My fingers froze up as my gloves were gone too on the hard icy snow. I had fallen in the hole but was stuck on a shelf maybe only two meters from what had been an entry point above me. I shuddered as I looked below me at the gaping abyss which went down into oblivion with the blue of the ice turning darker, then pitch black into the void below me.
Thrilling stories
As a writer and photographer Peter has published in major ski and adventure publications as well as film and television industry . Another of his documentaries brought him back from The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, an exotic Coastal Mountain range in Colombia. The location was his dream destination since he first read about it in the early seventies in National Geographic, August 1970 issue. Peter’s unique 98/99 Expedition to Colombia was written up by Wade Davis in The “Voices from the Summit “ A National Geographic Book. .Now, a major documentary film brought him back again to The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Here another difficult public relations task was achieved just to seek permission for his expedition to enter the area by the reclusive Indigenous tribes ,as the only foreigners in years to reach some of the higher villages.
