In 1948 William Unsoeld caught his first breathtaking glimpse of majestic, snow-capped Nanda Devi, rising more than 25,000 feet in northern India's Himalayan range. "I had a dream about Nanda Devi," he later recalled. "I dreamed of having a daughter to name after the peak." 

Twenty-eight years later Unsoeld, 50, returned to the mountain with an Indo-American expedition. Among the climbers assembled at the base camp was his 22-year-old daughter, Nanda Devi Unsoeld.

Two months later, just 1,500 feet below the summit, Unsoeld sent down a message it read: REGRET REPORT DEATH ON SEPTEMBER EIGHT OF NANDA DEVI AT CAMP IV...BODY COMMITTED TO THE MOUNTAIN.

As Unsoeld prepared to rejoin his family in the U.S., her mother said: "Nanda Devi died fulfilling her dream. There are worse ways of dying."
