International Course in Mountain Medicine Pyrenees, Spain |
|
The recent ISMM-sponsored course on Mountain Medicine, held in Les Places de Son and Park Nacional d'Aigüestortes in the Spanish Pyrenees, was a resounding success. Below are some photos of the event and participants. Click on a thumbnail to see a larger image. Participants: if you want a higher-resolution, printable jpeg picture file, send me an email; note that they are about 600K in size, be prepared for a long download if you use a modem! For now you must page through the thumbnails below; I'll make it into a slide show once the photo collection has stabilized. |
