Photo by @bethjwald // Temperatures are topping 100 degrees across much of the mountain West and I am dreaming of cold, icy landscapes, like in this photo - a Bactrian camel stoically braves a snowstorm at a Kyrgyz winter camp at about 14,000 feet in the Little Pamirs, Wakhan Corridor, northeastern Afghanistan. These woolly, double-humped camels used by the Krygyz are domestic relatives of the wild and critically endangered Bactrian camels of southern China and northern Mongolia. This photo is part of a series exploring life in winter in the remote Afghan Pamirs, at the northeast end of the Wakhan. I am honored that this series was chosen as the winner of the 2018 Banff Mountain Photo Essay Competition, part of the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, run by the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity – thanks so much to the jury, to the Banff Centre, and I am ever grateful to the Kyrgyz and Wakhi families who welcomed me into their homes during the arduous journey in the Pamirs.

Not long ago, Kyrgyz men took camel caravans in the winter, following frozen rivers to the villages in the valleys, where they would trade yak butter, sheep and goats for wheat and other supplies with the Wakhi, the indigenous people of the Wakhan. I took this photo during a several year project to document the peoples of the Wakhan-the Wakhi and Kyrgyz, their ways of life, their relationship to each other, to their environment and to the wildlife of the Pamirs. #Afghanistan #wakhancorridor #Afghanpamirs #Pamirs #Kyrgyz #nomad #camel bactriancamel #mountainculture #Badakshan #roofoftheworld #mountainjourney #centralasia #pastoralist #winterlandscape #frozen #nikon @ilcp_photographers @natgeocreative @banffcentre
