Bulgarian zoologists in South Asia and Melanesia – results of the research and material remaining for study. – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 20: 121-138. Abstract. Since 1975, several Bulgarian zoologists have explored countries in South Asia and Melanesia (Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, South China, incl. Taiwan, Papua New Guinea) and have collected many new taxa of different groups, mainly in the high mountains and in caves. In the paper, the new taxa described from this area by Bulgarian and foreign specialists are enumerated. Large collections remain not yet identified. Key words: Bulgarians, Zoology, South Asia, Melanesia The fauna of South Asia and Melanesia is among the most interesting in the world. Since 1975 Bulgarian zoologists have participated in its study, in the field collecting work and in the identification of the material. Their contribution is not as big as the work of the Zoologists from the countries like England, France, Germany, Italy, etc., but is worth announcing. The aim of this publication is to put together the results obtained so far and to outline the work, done especially in Papua New Guinea. Participating in the field work in this area in different periods were St. Andreev, P. Beron, V. Beshkov, T. Ivanova, M. Josifov, S. Donchev, D. Kozhuharov, V. Golemansky, V. Popov, A. Popov.

The 8000-Er Mess
AAC Publications The 8000-er Mess The History of Climbing the World's Highest Peaks Is Not What it Seems This flag-draped rock pile on Manaslu is just below the point where most climbers stop their ascent—a point about 20 meters before the actual summit. Photo by Guy Gotter In recent years an international group of mountaineering researchers came to the realization that there was a major problem with the history of 8,000-meter climbing. The group, which coalesced around Eberhard Jurgalski, the leading chronicler of Himalayan and Karakoram mountaineering statistics, and his 8000ers.com website, determined that on several 8,000-meter peaks, many climbers had not been going to the summit and that this had been happening for decades. Usually this has been because of understandable ignorance or confusion about the exact nature of the summit topography. However, it has led to the remarkable situation where it is possible that no one has stood on the true highest point of all the 8,000-meter peaks. I feel that I have to state immediately that the summit is the highest point on the mountain and there is usually only one. So, in this article, I don’t say “main summit” or “true summit”—just “summit.” Everything else is a top, a peak, a bump, or a ridge, but not the summit. You might feel that you can stop 30 meters away and 10 meters below the very highest point and still say that you have “climbed the mountain,” but you have not been to the summit.
