180° South: Conquerors of the Useless

180° South: Conquerors of the Useless by Yvon Chouinard, Jeff Johnson and Chris Malloy. Written by Yvon Chouinard, Chris Malloy and Jeff Johnson, this paperback edition of the 180º South: Conquerors Of The Useless tells the story of Chris and Jeff’s adventure inspired by an obscure 1960s-era film about a journey from Ventura, California to Chilean Patagonia called ‘Mountain of Storms’. Having made a film that documented their journey called ‘180º South’, this book tells of the inspiration and life-changing experience that was ‘Mountain Of Storms’ and how that inspired Yvon Chounard and Doug Tompkins to dedicate themselves to save the wilderness. Containing words and images not shown in the film, a collection of photographs from Jeff Johnson, Jimmy Chin, Scott Soens and Danny Moder are also included and have been printed across 100% recycled paper and published by Patagonia themselves.

Beautifully presented with a combination of text and imagery, this book retraces an iconic trip taken during 1968 that captures the free spirit of the times whilst also being inspiring for the future. Generously sized to present the photography at its best, ‘180º South’ makes a great coffee table book or an influential read for anyone with a love for travel and the environment.
