About this item
| Description: | Ang Nima and Ang Kami discuss different elements of their lives as Ice Fall Doctors: what they like about the job; safety; what their wives think of the work; religion and how it keeps them safe in the ice; spirits in the Icefall and the surrounding mountains and how much longer they expect to do the job. (Some of the conversation is in English. Later on it is translated from Nepali into English.) |
