Ce que voulaient les dieux des montagnes

Dans le royaume des incas, des cendres du volcan etaient-elles la cause de la faible recolte et de la faim? Cinq siecles apres, des cendres et la fumee du Nevado Sabancaya fondaient les versants glaces et enneiges du Mont Ampato. Alors deux alpinistes, le Dr Johan Reinhard et Miguel Zarate, reussissaient a y retrouver le corps d'une adolescente inca. L'auteur ecrit un conte pour dire pourquoi une jeune fille de 14 ans grimpait jusqu'au sommet du Mont Ampato. Chaque chapitre du conte est precede par des faits de la decouverte de la jolie Juanita. Quelle courageuse, mourante sacrifiee pour aider a sa communaute et, avec son corps bien momifie, a la science 500 ans plus tard.

What Mountains Want

Once upon a time, falling volcanic ash might have hurt community crops and led a brave teen to scale sacred Mount Ampato. Within the last decade, ash and smoke from Nevado Sabancaya melted slopes and led mountain climbers Johan Reinhard and Miguel Zarate to the 14-year-old's mummified body. Author Susan Vande Griek starts each chapter of her suspenseful short story with facts about finding Juanita. A GIFT FOR AMPATO also works as cultural background to Janet Buell's ICE MAIDEN OF THE ANDES, David Getz's FROZEN GIRL, Harriet Griffey's SECRETS OF THE MUMMIES, Nova's FROZEN IN HEAVEN video, and Dr Reinhard's DISCOVERING THE INCA ICE MAIDEN.
