7. Porters on Vigne Glacier, Karakoram Mountains, Pakistan


No trek or climb in the Karakoram would be possible without the Balti porters, some of the toughtest men on Earth. Every day on our month-long trek, they carried their 55-lb. loads without complaint, wearing the most meager clothes. Whenever I felt cold and tired, I tried to imagine what they were enduring to earn just a few dollars a day.
