Iztok Tomazin: On the border – tales of smuggling from the Karawanks to the Himalaya

Tomazin’s book Na meji (On the border) is a collection of smuggling stories from the Karawanks to the Himalaya, accompanied by countless reflections and wonderful photos. During this time of Covid-19 restrictions, refugee crises, and other social changes, Tomazin’s stories seem especially relevant. The pioneer of Slovenian free climbing, alpinist with countless Himalayan expeditions under his belt, mountain rescuer, and doctor focuses not only on the borders in the physical world but also on our personal limitations and boundaries.
