Dag Hammarskjöld won global recognition as Secretary-General of the UN. He was also an avid mountain hiker and a sensitive nature writer.

Photographer Claes Grundsten spent years trekking in Hammarskjöld’s footsteps to take pictures that follow his stories. This book combines peerless images of the Swedish wilderness with Hammarskjöld’s texts.

The Swedish compact edition is entitled Svenska Fjällen.
