A series of zoological exploration Introduced by Jeffery Boswall

The expedition starts at 16,000 ft where the climate is severe for both man and wildlife. On the rooftop of South America live strange plants and animals.
A search by mule-train is mounted for the last vicunas in Argentina - diminutive humpless wild camels. Andean bird specialities include condors, flamingoes, avocets and an American tourist, Wilson's Phalarope.
