What reading level is Mountain Exploration book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many people think that the chamois is now extinct in the Alps to a great extent, and the ordinary traveller hardly realizes how many of them are left above the snow line. In cer- tain parts of the Alps they are frequently visible, some- times in herds of forty or fifty. I once had the pleasure of watching a chamois through a telescope, from a rock where we were taking lunch. This chamois was crossing a glacier below us, and was quite unconscious of our presence. It was very interesting to watch... how the animal threaded his way amongst the crevasses, and seemed to know where he might go with safety, and wandered up and down, jumping the crevasses, leaping from one bit of ice to another. On another occasion, Mr. Binney and I, in trying to ascend Piz Julier in the Engadine without guides, came within a few yards of a chamois, who was taking his noonday siesta under a large rock.
Monsieur Janssen, of the French Academy, made an expedition two years ago to the top of Mont Blanc,''' to determine, by means of spectroscopic observations, the presence or absence of oxygen in the solar atmosphere.
