This chapter recounts the late eighteenth century to trace the steps of Conrad Gessner, the Swiss naturalist who is widely credited as the father of Alpinism. It analyzes Horace-Bénédict de Saussure's “Voyages dans les Alpes” that delineated scientific observations and ecstatic descriptions of Saussure's travels. It also explores Saussure's creation of an entirely new model of depicting a mountain's summit perspective, introduction of influential observations on glaciers and glacial movement, and obsession with climbing Mont Blanc. The chapter talks about how Alexander von Humboldt referenced Saussure in his own publications and credited Saussure's accomplishment whenever possible. It also mentions Swiss geologist and zoologist Louis Agassiz, who was among the first to publicly suggest that glaciers covered large parts of the earth during an “ice age.”
这一章叙述了18世纪晚期，追溯了瑞士博物学家康拉德·格斯纳(Conrad Gessner)的足迹，他被广泛认为是登山之父。它分析了索绪尔的《阿尔卑斯之旅》(Voyages dans les Alpes)，其中描绘了对索绪尔旅行的科学观察和狂喜的描述。它还探讨了索绪尔创造的一种全新的模式，描绘了山峰的顶峰视角，介绍了对冰川和冰川运动的有影响力的观察，以及对攀登勃朗峰的痴迷。这一章讨论了亚历山大·冯·洪堡如何在他自己的出版物中引用索绪尔，并尽可能地赞扬索绪尔的成就。它还提到了瑞士地质学家和动物学家路易斯·阿加西(Louis Agassiz)，他是最早公开提出冰川在“冰河时代”覆盖了地球大部分地区的人之一。
