ABOUT
The story and history of Mount Egmont or Taranaki.
Features a brief 11-page introductory overview covering the mountain’s unique regional identity, local mythology, geological history, botanical features, and its historical appeal to recreational climbers.
The core focus of the volume is a collection of 49 high-quality monochrome plates captured by Scanlan himself. These black-and-white photographs chronicle the mountain across all seasons, capturing dramatic angles of the snowy crater floor, ice formations, and sweeping views extending down toward New Plymouth.
The author, editor of the Taranaki Herald since 1937, has made over 130 ascents of the mountain.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
