A world renowned mountain climber and the chairman of the british Alpine Club, Mr. Tom G. Longstaff, has sent a letter to Mr. Julius Kugy, describing his impression about the Julian Alps: "You ask me what sort of an impression the Julian Alps make upon me. I find it difficult to answer. It is a fact that they have become for me, after forty years' devotion to mountain scenery, the most desirable of all mountains. I want to revisit them more than I desire to see again any other region of the Alps: more than I desire to see again the frosty Caucasus, or Himalaya, or the mountains of Canada and Alaska, or the ineffable primrose light of the low sun on the fantastic peaks of the Arctic. I believe this feeling is greatly due to their surprising quality of mystery."
