John Cleare/Mountain Camera Picture Library

John Cleare has published numerous books and is a mountaineer with worldwide experience.

Our mountain and wilderness related subjects range from the Alps to the Antarctic, from the Hebrides to the Himalaya, from Canada to the Karakorum, from the Andes to Australasia, and our files encompass climbing, ski-mountaineering, trekking, desert travel, rafting and much more.

Landscape too is a speciality and we have wide coverage of the British Isles, particularly its uplands and coasts, while we hold a meaningful collection of geographical and natural features, interesting cities and general travel. Research /
