A 100 views on a mountain

Almost a quarter of our Earth’s landmass can be considered mountainous. In this research I’m collecting a 100 different views on a mountain from the human perspective. We as humans, have a rich history with mountains. We look at them, we enjoy them, we are afraid of them, we walk on them, we want to be on top of them, we write about them, we paint them, we take pictures of them, we name them, we carve them out, we want to defy them and so on. I’m going to collect views from people with different backgrounds and experiences with mountains. This may turn into an interview with the person in question or researching books, articles and films.
