Talk:Shipton's Arch

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The arch is located at 39°53′6.59″N, 75°12′59.21″E.

When i use the link to http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0012/feature6/ i find in the first column the map of the expedition. IMO the description of the location here on this wiki with ((39°53′6.59″N, 75°12′59.21″)) can't be correct. Who can do the verification?

Sources for Eric Shipton's visits to the arch

[edit]

A description of Eric Shipton and his party's first visit to the arch is detailed in his wife Diana Shipton's book The Antique Land, published in 1950, in the chapter The Elusive Arch. The Shipton's party photographed the arch. The book also mentions a return visit with further people. My copy, published in 1987, has a chapter heading featuring a drawing of the arch, which was presumably also in the original (the book is available on Open Library if anyone wants to check). 2A00:23C4:6B1D:8501:D0A:2844:EC86:5B83 (talk) 10:51, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
